Book 26 : EZEKIEL - Chapter 024
024:001
Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same
day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this
same day
024:002
And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and
also pour water into it
024:003
Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the
thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones
024:004
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
024:005
Wherefore thus saith 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
024:006
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
024:007
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
024:008
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I
will even make the pile for fire great
024:009
Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it
well, and let the bones be burned
024:010
Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, 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
024:011
She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went
not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire
024:012
In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and
thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy
filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon
thee
024:013
I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will
do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will
I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings,
shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD
024:014
Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying
024:015
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine
eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep,
neither shall thy tears run down
024:016
Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire
of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet,
and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men
024:017
So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife
died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded
024:018
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these
things are to us, that thou doest so
024:019
Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me,
saying
024:020
Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your
strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul
pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left
shall fall by the sword
024:021
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips,
nor eat the bread of men
024:022
And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon
your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away
for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another
024:023
Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath
done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I
am the Lord GOD
024:024
Also, thou son of man, shall 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
024:025
That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to
cause thee to hear it with thine ears
024:026
In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped,
and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a
sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD
