Ezekiel 24:1-14
1In the ninthH8671 yearH8141, on the tenthH6218 dayH2320 of the tenthH6224 monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559, 2“SonH1121 of manH120, write downH3789 today’s dateH3117, forH853 on thisH2088 veryH6106 dayH3117 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 has laid siegeH5564 toH413 JerusalemH3389. 3Now speak a parableH4911H4912 toH413 this rebelliousH4805 houseH1004 and tellH559 themH413 that this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:
‘Put the potH5518 on the fireH8239;put it onH8239 andH1571 pourH3332 in the waterH4325.4Put inH622 the piecesH5409 of meatH413,everyH3605 goodH2896 pieceH5409—thighH3409 and shoulderH3802—fillH4390 it with choiceH4005 bonesH6106.5TakeH3947 the choicestH4005 of the flockH6629andH1571 pile the fuelH1754 beneath itH8478.Bring it to a boilH7571H7570andH1571 cookH1310 the bonesH6106 in itH8432.’
6ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:
‘WoeH188 to the cityH5892 of bloodshedH1818,to the potH5518 now rustedH834H2457,whose rustH2457 will notH3808 come offH3318H4480!EmptyH3318 it pieceH5409 by pieceH5409;castH5307 noH3808 lotsH1486 for its contentsH5921.17ForH3588 the blood she shedH1818 isH1961 still within herH8432;she poured it outH7760 onH5921 the bareH6706 rockH5553;she did notH3808 pourH8210 it onH5921 the groundH776to coverH3680H5921 it with dustH6083.8In order to stir upH5927 wrathH2534and take vengeanceH5358H5359,I have placedH5414 her bloodH1818 onH5921 the bareH6706 rockH5553,so that it would notH1115 be coveredH3680.’
9YesH3651, this is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 saysH559:
‘WoeH188 to the cityH5892 of bloodshedH1818H1571!I, tooH589, will pile the kindlingH4071 highH1431.10Pile onH7235 the logsH6086 and kindleH1814 the fireH784;cookH8552 the meat wellH1320and mix inH7543 the spicesH4841;let the bonesH6106 be burnedH2787.11SetH5975 the emptyH7386 pot onH5921 its coalsH1513untilH4616 it becomes hotH2552 and its copperH5178 glowsH2787.Then its impurityH2932 will meltH5413 withinH8432;its rustH2457 will be consumedH8552.12It has frustratedH3811 every effortH8383;its thickH7227 rustH2457 has notH3808 been removedH3318H4480,even by the fireH784.13BecauseH3282 of the indecencyH2154 of your uncleannessH2932I tried to cleanse youH2891,but you would notH3808 be purifiedH2891from your filthinessH2932.You will notH3808 be pureH2891 againH5750untilH5704 My wrathH2534 against you has subsidedH5117.14IH589, the LORDH3068, have spokenH1696;the time is comingH935, and I will actH6213.I will notH3808 refrainH6544 or show pityH2347,norH3808 will I relentH5162.I will judge youH8199according to your waysH1870 and deedsH5949,’declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.”
