24:1 Again in the ninth 8671 year 8141, in the tenth 6224 month 2320, in the tenth 6218 [day] of the month 2320, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

24:2 Son 1121 of man 120, write 3789 8798 thee the name 8034 of the day 3117, [even] of this same 6106 day 3117: the king 4428 of Babylon 894 set 5564 8804 himself against Jerusalem 3389 this same 6106 day 3117.

24:3 And utter 4911 8798 a parable 4912 unto the rebellious 4805 house 1004, and say 559 8804 unto them, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Set on 8239 8798 a pot 5518, set [it] on 8239 8798, and also pour 3332 8798 water 4325 into it:

24:4 Gather 622 8798 the pieces 5409 thereof into it, [even] every good 2896 piece 5409, the thigh 3409, and the shoulder 3802; fill 4390 8761 [it] with the choice 4005 bones 6106.

24:5 Take 3947 8800 the choice 4005 of the flock 6629, and burn 1754 also the bones 6106 under it, [and] make it boil 7570 8761 well 7571, and let them seethe 1310 8804 the bones 6106 of it therein 8432.(burn: or, heap)

24:6 Wherefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Woe 188 to the bloody 1818 city 5892, to the pot 5518 whose scum 2457 [is] therein, and whose scum 2457 is not gone out 3318 8804 of it! bring it out 3318 8685 piece 5409 by piece 5409; let no lot 1486 fall 5307 8804 upon it.

24:7 For her blood 1818 is in the midst 8432 of her; she set 7760 8804 it upon the top 6706 of a rock 5553; she poured 8210 8804 it not upon the ground 776, to cover 3680 8763 it with dust 6083;

24:8 That it might cause fury 2534 to come up 5927 8687 to take 5358 8800 vengeance 5359; I have set 5414 8804 her blood 1818 upon the top 6706 of a rock 5553, that it should not be covered 3680 8736.

24:9 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Woe 188 to the bloody 1818 city 5892! I will even make the pile 4071 for fire great 1431 8686.

24:10 Heap 7235 8685 on wood 6086, kindle 1814 8687 the fire 784, consume 8552 8687 the flesh 1320, and spice 7543 8687 it well 4841, and let the bones 6106 be burned 2787 8735.

24:11 Then set 5975 8687 it empty 7386 upon the coals 1513 thereof, that the brass 5178 of it may be hot 3179 8799, and may burn 2787 8804, and [that] the filthiness 2932 of it may be molten 5413 8738 in it 8432, [that] the scum 2457 of it may be consumed 8552 8799.

24:12 She hath wearied 3811 8689 [herself] with lies 8383, and her great 7227 scum 2457 went not forth 3318 8799 out of her: her scum 2457 [shall be] in the fire 784.

24:13 In thy filthiness 2932 [is] lewdness 2154: because I have purged 2891 8765 thee, and thou wast not purged 2891 8804, thou shalt not be purged 2891 8799 from thy filthiness 2932 any more, till I have caused my fury 2534 to rest 5117 8687 upon thee.

24:14 I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696 8765 [it]: it shall come to pass 935 8802, and I will do 6213 8804 [it]; I will not go back 6544 8799, neither will I spare 2347 8799, neither will I repent 5162 8735; according to thy ways 1870, and according to thy doings 5949, shall they judge 8199 8804 thee, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.

24:15 Also the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

24:16 Son 1121 of man 120, behold, I take away 3947 8802 from thee the desire 4261 of thine eyes 5869 with a stroke 4046: yet neither shalt thou mourn 5594 8799 nor weep 1058 8799, neither shall thy tears 1832 run down 935 8799.(run down: Heb. go)

24:17 Forbear 1826 8798 to cry 602 8736, make 6213 8799 no mourning 60 for the dead 4191 8801, bind 2280 8798 the tire of thine head 6287 upon thee, and put on 7760 8799 thy shoes 5275 upon thy feet 7272, and cover 5844 8799 not [thy] lips 8222, and eat 398 8799 not the bread 3899 of men 582.(Forbear: Heb. Be silent)(lips: Heb. upper lip)

24:18 So I spake 1696 8762 unto the people 5971 in the morning 1242: and at even 6153 my wife 802 died 4191 8799; and I did 6213 8799 in the morning 1242 as I was commanded 6680 8795.

24:19 And the people 5971 said 559 8799 unto me, Wilt thou not tell 5046 8686 us what these [things are] to us, that thou doest 6213 8802 [so]?

24:20 Then I answered 559 8799 them, The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came unto me, saying 559 8800,

24:21 Speak 559 8798 unto the house 1004 of Israel 3478, Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Behold, I will profane 2490 8764 my sanctuary 4720, the excellency 1347 of your strength 5797, the desire 4261 of your eyes 5869, and that which your soul 5315 pitieth 4263; and your sons 1121 and your daughters 1323 whom ye have left 5800 8804 shall fall 5307 8799 by the sword 2719.(that…: Heb. the pity of your soul)

24:22 And ye shall do 6213 8804 as I have done 6213 8804: ye shall not cover 5844 8799 [your] lips 8222, nor eat 398 8799 the bread 3899 of men 582.

24:23 And your tires 6287 [shall be] upon your heads 7218, and your shoes 5275 upon your feet 7272: ye shall not mourn 5594 8799 nor weep 1058 8799; but ye shall pine away 4743 8738 for your iniquities 5771, and mourn 5098 8804 one 376 toward another 251.

24:24 Thus Ezekiel 3168 is unto you a sign 4159: according to all that he hath done 6213 8804 shall ye do 6213 8799: and when this cometh 935 8800, ye shall know 3045 8804 that I [am] the Lord 136 GOD 3069.

24:25 Also, thou son 1121 of man 120, [shall it] not [be] in the day 3117 when I take 3947 8800 from them their strength 4581, the joy 4885 of their glory 8597, the desire 4261 of their eyes 5869, and that whereupon they set 4853 their minds 5315, their sons 1121 and their daughters 1323,(that…: Heb. the lifting up of their soul)

24:26 [That] he that escapeth 6412 in that day 3117 shall come 935 8799 unto thee, to cause [thee] to hear 2045 [it] with [thine] ears 241?

24:27 In that day 3117 shall thy mouth 6310 be opened 6605 8735 to him which is escaped 6412, and thou shalt speak 1696 8762, and be no more dumb 481 8735: and thou shalt be a sign 4159 unto them; and they shall know 3045 8804 that I [am] the LORD 3068.
