house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set
it
on, and also pour water
into it:
4
Gather the pieces thereof 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
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 up on 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 saith 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 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.
12
She hath wearied
herself
with lies, and her great scum went
not forth out of her: her scum
shall be
in the fire.
13
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.
14
I the L
ORD
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.
15
Also the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
16
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.
17
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.
18
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.
19
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these
things are
to us, that thou doest
so?
20
Then I answered them, The word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
21
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.
22
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover
your
lips, nor eat the bread of men.
23
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.
24
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.
25
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,
26
That
he that escapeth
in that day shall come unto thee, to cause
thee
to hear
it
with
thine
ears?
27
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 L
ORD
.
