Ezequiel — Capítulo 24

KJVAgain in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth {day} of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

KJVSon 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.

KJVAnd 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:

KJVGather the pieces thereof into it, {even} every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill {it} with the choice bones.

KJVTake 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. {burn: or, heap}

KJVWherefore 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.

KJVFor 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;

KJVThat 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.

KJVTherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

KJVHeap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

KJVThen 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.

KJVShe hath wearied {herself} with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum {shall be} in the fire.

KJVIn 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.

KJVI 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.

KJVAlso the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

KJVSon 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. {run down: Heb. go}

KJVForbear 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. {Forbear: Heb. Be silent} {lips: Heb. upper lip}

KJVSo I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

KJVAnd the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these {things are} to us, that thou doest {so}?

KJVThen I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

KJVSpeak 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. {that...: Heb. the pity of your soul}

KJVAnd ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover {your} lips, nor eat the bread of men.

KJVAnd 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.

KJVThus 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.

KJVAlso, 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, {that...: Heb. the lifting up of their soul}

KJV{That} he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause {thee} to hear {it} with {thine} ears?

KJVIn 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.
