Ezekiel:24:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And in the ninth year ,
in the tenth month ,
on the tenth of the month ,
the word of Jehovah came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
write thee the name of the day ,
of this selfsame day :
on this selfsame day the king of Babylon draws near to Jerusalem .
*
And propose a parable unto the rebellious house ,
and say unto them ,
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah :
Set on the pot ,
set [
it ]
on ,
and also pour water into it .
*
Gather the pieces thereof into it ,
every good piece ,
the thigh and the shoulder ;
fill [
it ]
with the choice bones :
*
take the choice of the flock ;
and also [
put ]
a pile of wood under it ,
for the bones ;
make it boil well ,
and let the bones of it seethe therein .
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah :
Woe to the bloody city ,
to the pot whose rust is therein ,
and whose rust is not gone out of it !
Bring it out piece by piece ;
let no lot fall upon it :
*
for her blood is in the midst of her ;
she set it upon the bare rock ;
she poured it not upon the ground ,
to cover it with dust .
*
That it might cause fury to come up to execute vengeance ,
I have set her blood upon the bare rock ,
that it should not be covered .
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah :
Woe to the bloody city !
I also will make the pile great .
*
Heap on the wood ,
kindle the fire ,
boil thoroughly the flesh ,
and spice it well ,
and let the bones be burned .
*
Then set it empty upon its coals ,
that it may be hot ,
and the brass of it may burn ,
and that its filthiness may be molten in it , [
and ]
that its rust may be consumed .
*
She hath exhausted [
her ]
labours ,
yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her :
let her rust be in the fire .
*
In thy filthiness is lewdness ,
for I have purged thee ,
and thou art not pure .
Thou shalt no more be purged from thy filthiness ,
till I have satisfied my fury upon thee .
*
I Jehovah have spoken [
it ]:
it shall come to pass ,
and I will do it ;
I will not go back ,
neither will I spare ,
nor will I repent .
According to thy ways ,
and according to thy doings ,
shall they judge thee ,
saith the Lord Jehovah .
