1. And the Word of Jehovah was to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, saying,
|
1. 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 H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Son of man, write for yourself the name of the day, this very day. The king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day.
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , write H3789 thee H853 the name H8034 of the day H3117 , H853 even of this H2088 same H6106 day H3117 : the king H4428 of Babylon H894 set H5564 himself against H413 Jerusalem H3389 this H2088 same H6106 day H3117 .
|
|
3. And parable a parable to the house of rebellion, and say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot! Set it on, and also pour water in it.
|
3. And utter H4911 a parable H4912 unto H413 the rebellious H4805 house H1004 , and say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Set on H8239 a pot H5518 , set it on H8239 , and also H1571 pour H3332 water H4325 into it:
|
|
4. Gather its pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with choice bones,
|
4. Gather H622 the pieces H5409 thereof into H413 it, even every H3605 good H2896 piece H5409 , the thigh H3409 , and the shoulder H3802 ; fill H4390 it with the choice H4005 bones H6106 .
|
|
5. take the choice of the flock and also pile the bones under it. Boiling make it boil. Also let them seethe its bones in it.
|
5. Take H3947 the choice H4005 of the flock H6629 , and burn H1752 also H1571 the bones H6106 under H8478 it, and make it boil H7570 well H7571 , and H1571 let them seethe H1310 the bones H6106 of it therein H8432 .
|
|
6. So the Lord Jehovah says this: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust has not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece. Let not a lot fall on it.
|
6. Wherefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Woe H188 to the bloody H1818 city H5892 , to the pot H5518 whose H834 scum H2457 is therein , and whose scum H2457 is not H3808 gone out H3318 of H4480 it! bring it out H3318 piece H5409 by piece H5409 ; let no H3808 lot H1486 fall H5307 upon H5921 it.
|
|
7. For her blood is in her midst, she set it on a shining rock. She did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.
|
7. For H3588 her blood H1818 is H1961 in the midst H8432 of her ; she set H7760 it upon H5921 the top H6706 of a rock H5553 ; she poured H8210 it not H3808 upon H5921 the ground H776 , to cover H3680 H5921 it with dust H6083 ;
|
|
8. In order to cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a shining rock, that it should not be covered.
|
8. That it might cause fury H2534 to come up H5927 to take H5358 vengeance H5359 ; I have set H5414 H853 her blood H1818 upon H5921 the top H6706 of a rock H5553 , that it should not H1115 be covered H3680 .
|
|
9. So the Lord Jehovah says this: Woe to the bloody city! I also shall make great the pile,
|
9. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Woe H188 to the bloody H1818 city H5892 ! I H589 will even H1571 make the pile for fire H4071 great H1431 .
|
|
10. and heap on the wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and mix in the spice, and let the bones be burned.
|
10. Heap on H7235 wood H6086 , kindle H1814 the fire H784 , consume H8552 the flesh H1320 , and spice it well H7543 H4841 , and let the bones H6106 be burned H2787 .
|
|
11. Then make it stand on its coals empty, so that it may be hot and its bronze may glow, and its defilement be melted in its midst, that its rust may be consumed.
|
11. Then set H5975 it empty H7386 upon H5921 the coals H1513 thereof, that H4616 the brass H5178 of it may be hot H2552 , and may burn H2787 , and that the filthiness H2932 of it may be molten H5413 in H8432 it, that the scum H2457 of it may be consumed H8552 .
|
|
12. She is wearied with toil, and the increase of her rust did not go out, her rust will be in the fire.
|
12. She hath wearied H3811 herself with lies H8383 , and her great H7227 scum H2457 went not forth H3318 H3808 out of H4480 her : her scum H2457 shall be in the fire H784 .
|
|
13. In your defilement is wickedness. Because I have cleansed you, yet you are not cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your defilement any more until I have caused My fury to cease on you.
|
13. In thy filthiness H2932 is lewdness H2154 : because H3282 I have purged H2891 thee , and thou wast not H3808 purged H2891 , thou shalt not H3808 be purged H2891 from thy filthiness H4480 H2932 any more H5750 , till H5704 I have caused H853 my fury H2534 to rest H5117 upon thee.
|
|
14. I, Jehovah, have spoken; it shall come, and I will do it. I will not let go, and I will not spare, I will not pity. By your ways and by your doings they shall judge you, declares the Lord Jehovah.
|
14. I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it : it shall come to pass H935 , and I will do H6213 it ; I will not H3808 go back H6544 , neither H3808 will I spare H2347 , neither H3808 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 .
|
|
15. And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
|
15. Also the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
16. Son of man, behold, I am taking from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke. Yet you shall not wail nor weep, and your tears shall not come.
|
16. Son H1121 of man H120 , behold H2009 , I take away H3947 from H4480 thee H853 the desire H4261 of thine eyes H5869 with a stroke H4046 : yet neither H3808 shalt thou mourn H5594 nor H3808 weep H1058 , neither H3808 shall thy tears H1832 run down H935 .
|
|
17. Groan, but be silent; do not make a mourning for her who died. Bind your turban on you, and put your sandals on your feet, and do not cover the mustache nor eat the bread of men.
|
17. Forbear H1826 to cry H602 , make H6213 no H3808 mourning H60 for the dead H4191 , bind H2280 the tire of thine head H6287 upon H5921 thee , and put on H7760 thy shoes H5275 upon thy feet H7272 , and cover H5844 not H3808 thy lips H8222 , and eat H398 not H3808 the bread H3899 of men H376 .
|
|
18. And I spoke to the people in the morning. And my wife died in the evening. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
|
18. So I spoke H1696 unto H413 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 H834 I was commanded H6680 .
|
|
19. And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what the things you are doing are to us?
|
19. And the people H5971 said H559 unto H413 me , Wilt thou not H3808 tell H5046 us what H4100 these H428 things are to us, that H3588 thou H859 doest H6213 so ?
|
|
20. Then I said to them, The Word of Jehovah was to me, saying,
|
20. Then I answered H559 H413 them , The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
21. Speak to the house of Israel, So says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane My sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities. And your sons and your daughters whom you have forsaken shall fall by the sword.
|
21. Speak H559 unto the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will profane H2490 H853 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 H834 ye have left H5800 shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 .
|
|
22. And you shall do as I have done. You shall not cover over the mustache, and you shall not eat the bread of men.
|
22. And ye shall do H6213 as H834 I have done H6213 : ye shall not H3808 cover H5844 H5921 your lips H8222 , nor H3808 eat H398 the bread H3899 of men H376 .
|
|
23. And your turbans shall be on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You shall not wail nor weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities, and each man groan to his brother.
|
23. And your tires H6287 shall be upon H5921 your heads H7218 , and your shoes H5275 upon your feet H7272 : ye shall not H3808 mourn H5594 nor H3808 weep H1058 ; but ye shall pine away H4743 for your iniquities H5771 , and mourn H5098 one H376 toward H413 another H251 .
|
|
24. So Ezekiel is for a sign to you. As all that he has done, you shall do. And when it comes, then you shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
|
24. Thus Ezekiel H3168 is H1961 unto you a sign H4159 : according to all H3605 that H834 he hath done H6213 shall ye do H6213 : and when this cometh H935 , ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
25. And you, son of man, will it not be on the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, and the lifting up of their soul, their sons and their daughters?
|
25. Also, thou H859 son H1121 of man H120 , shall it not H3808 be in the day H3117 when I take H3947 from H4480 them H853 their strength H4581 , the joy H4885 of their glory H8597 , H853 the desire H4261 of their eyes H5869 , and that whereupon they set H4853 their minds H5315 , their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 ,
|
|
26. He will come in that day, he who escaped to you, to cause you to hear with your ears.
|
26. That he that escapeth H6412 in that H1931 day H3117 shall come H935 unto H413 thee , to cause thee to hear H2045 it with thine ears H241 ?
|
|
27. In that day your mouth shall be opened to the escaped one, and you shall speak and not be dumb any longer. And you shall be to them a sign, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
|
27. In that H1931 day H3117 shall thy mouth H6310 be opened H6605 H853 to him which is escaped H6412 , and thou shalt speak H1696 , and be no more dumb H481 H3808 H5750 : and thou shalt be H1961 a sign H4159 unto them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD H3068 .
