1 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
2 Son of man, write you the name of the day, [even] of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
3 And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it:
4 Gather the pieces of it into it, [even] every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones.
5 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, [and] make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
6 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum [is] therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
9 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
11 Then set it empty upon the coals of it, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and [that] the filthiness of it may be molten in it, [that] the scum of it may be consumed.
12 She has wearied [herself] with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum [will be] in the fire.
13 In your filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged you, and you were not purged, you will not be purged from your filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon you.
14 I the LORD [Yahweh] have spoken [it]: it will come to pass, and I will do [it]; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, will they judge you, says the Lord GOD.
15 Also the word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
16 Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet neither will you mourn nor weep, neither will your tears run down.
17 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of your head upon you, and put on your shoes upon your feet, and cover not [your] lips, and eat not the bread of men.
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these [things are] to us, that you do [so]?
20 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD [Yahweh] came to me, saying,
21 Speak to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left will fall by the sword.
22 And you will do as I have done: you will not cover [your] lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23 And your tires [will be] upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: you will not mourn nor weep; but you will pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
24 Thus Ezekiel is to you a sign: according to all that he has done will you do: and when this comes, you will know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
25 Also, you son of man, [will it] not [be] in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
26 [That] he that escapes in that day will come to you, to cause [you] to hear [it] with [your] ears?
27 In that day will your mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and you will speak, and be no more dumb: and you will be a sign to them; and they will know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh].
