Ezekiel 24 (kjv)

Again in the ninth^H8671 year^H8141, in the tenth^H6224 month^H2320, in the tenth^H6218 day of the month^H2320, the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,²Son^H1121 of man^H120, write^H3789 thee the name^H8034 of the day^H3117, even of this same^H6106 day^H3117: the king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 set^H5564 himself against Jerusalem^H3389 this same^H6106 day^H3117.³And utter^H4911 a parable^H4912 unto the rebellious^H4805 house^H1004, and say^H559 unto them, Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Set on^H8239 a pot^H5518, set it on^H8239, and also pour^H3332 water^H4325 into it:⁴Gather^H622 the pieces^H5409 thereof into it, even every good^H2896 piece^H5409, the thigh^H3409, and the shoulder^H3802; fill^H4390 it with the choice^H4005 bones^H6106.⁵Take^H3947 the choice^H4005 of the flock^H6629, and burn^H1754 also the bones^H6106 under it, and make it boil^H7570 well^H7571, and let them seethe^H1310 the bones^H6106 of it therein^H8432.

⁶Wherefore thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Woe^H188 to the bloody^H1818 city^H5892, to the pot^H5518 whose scum^H2457 is therein, and whose scum^H2457 is not gone out^H3318 of it! bring it out^H3318 piece^H5409 by piece^H5409; let no lot^H1486 fall^H5307 upon it.⁷For her blood^H1818 is in the midst^H8432 of her; she set^H7760 it upon the top^H6706 of a rock^H5553; she poured^H8210 it not upon the ground^H776, to cover^H3680 it with dust^H6083;⁸That it might cause fury^H2534 to come up^H5927 to take^H5358 vengeance^H5359; I have set^H5414 her blood^H1818 upon the top^H6706 of a rock^H5553, that it should not be covered^H3680.⁹Therefore thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Woe^H188 to the bloody^H1818 city^H5892! I will even make the pile^H4071 for fire great^H1431.¹⁰Heap^H7235 on wood^H6086, kindle^H1814 the fire^H784, consume^H8552 the flesh^H1320, and spice^H7543 it well^H4841, and let the bones^H6106 be burned^H2787.¹¹Then set^H5975 it empty^H7386 upon the coals^H1513 thereof, that the brass^H5178 of it may be hot^H3179, and may burn^H2787, and that the filthiness^H2932 of it may be molten^H5413 in it^H8432, that the scum^H2457 of it may be consumed^H8552.¹²She hath wearied^H3811 herself with lies^H8383, and her great^H7227 scum^H2457 went not forth^H3318 out of her: her scum^H2457 shall be in the fire^H784.¹³In thy filthiness^H2932 is lewdness^H2154: because I have purged^H2891 thee, and thou wast not purged^H2891, thou shalt not be purged^H2891 from thy filthiness^H2932 any more, till I have caused my fury^H2534 to rest^H5117 upon thee.¹⁴I the LORD^H3068 have spoken^H1696 it: it shall come to pass^H935, and I will do^H6213 it; I will not go back^H6544, neither will I spare^H2347, neither will I repent^H5162; according to thy ways^H1870, and according to thy doings^H5949, shall they judge^H8199 thee, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.

¹⁵Also the word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,¹⁶Son^H1121 of man^H120, behold, I take away^H3947 from thee the desire^H4261 of thine eyes^H5869 with a stroke^H4046: yet neither shalt thou mourn^H5594 nor weep^H1058, neither shall thy tears^H1832 run down^H935.¹⁷Forbear^H1826 to cry^H602, make^H6213 no mourning^H60 for the dead^H4191, bind^H2280 the tire of thine head^H6287 upon thee, and put on^H7760 thy shoes^H5275 upon thy feet^H7272, and cover^H5844 not thy lips^H8222, and eat^H398 not the bread^H3899 of men^H582.¹⁸So I spake^H1696 unto the people^H5971 in the morning^H1242: and at even^H6153 my wife^H802 died^H4191; and I did^H6213 in the morning^H1242 as I was commanded^H6680.

¹⁹And the people^H5971 said^H559 unto me, Wilt thou not tell^H5046 us what these things are to us, that thou doest^H6213 so?²⁰Then I answered^H559 them, The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came unto me, saying^H559,²¹Speak^H559 unto the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478, Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I will profane^H2490 my sanctuary^H4720, the excellency^H1347 of your strength^H5797, the desire^H4261 of your eyes^H5869, and that which your soul^H5315 pitieth^H4263; and your sons^H1121 and your daughters^H1323 whom ye have left^H5800 shall fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719.²²And ye shall do^H6213 as I have done^H6213: ye shall not cover^H5844 your lips^H8222, nor eat^H398 the bread^H3899 of men^H582.²³And your tires^H6287 shall be upon your heads^H7218, and your shoes^H5275 upon your feet^H7272: ye shall not mourn^H5594 nor weep^H1058; but ye shall pine away^H4743 for your iniquities^H5771, and mourn^H5098 one^H376 toward another^H251.²⁴Thus Ezekiel^H3168 is unto you a sign^H4159: according to all that he hath done^H6213 shall ye do^H6213: and when this cometh^H935, ye shall know^H3045 that I am the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.²⁵Also, thou son^H1121 of man^H120, shall it not be in the day^H3117 when I take^H3947 from them their strength^H4581, the joy^H4885 of their glory^H8597, the desire^H4261 of their eyes^H5869, and that whereupon they set^H4853 their minds^H5315, their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323,²⁶That he that escapeth^H6412 in that day^H3117 shall come^H935 unto thee, to cause thee to hear^H2045 it with thine ears^H241?²⁷In that day^H3117 shall thy mouth^H6310 be opened^H6605 to him which is escaped^H6412, and thou shalt speak^H1696, and be no more dumb^H481: and thou shalt be a sign^H4159 unto them; and they shall know^H3045 that I am the LORD^H3068.
