[1] Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day. [3] Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says,
“Put the cauldron on the fire.
Put it on,
and also pour water into it.
[4] Gather its pieces 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 also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron.
Make it boil well.
Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.” [6] “ ‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says:
“Woe to the bloody city,
to the cauldron whose rust is in it,
and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it!
Take out of it piece after piece
without casting lots for it. [7] “ ‘ “For the blood she shed is in the middle of her.
She set it on the bare rock.
She didn’t pour it on the ground,
to cover it with dust.
[8] That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance,
I have set her blood on the bare rock,
that it should not be covered.” [9] “ ‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says:
“Woe to the bloody city!
I also will make the pile great.
[10] Heap on the wood.
Make the fire hot.
Boil the meat well.
Make the broth thick,
and let the bones be burned.
[11] Then set it empty on its coals,
that it may be hot,
and its bronze may burn,
and that its filthiness may be molten in it,
that its rust may be consumed.
[12] She is weary with toil;
yet her great rust,
rust by fire, doesn’t leave her. [13] “ ‘ “In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you and you weren’t cleansed, you won’t be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest. [14] “ ‘ “I, Yahweh, have spoken it. It will happen, and I will do it. I won’t go back. I won’t spare. I won’t repent. According to your ways and according to your doings, they will judge you,” says the Lord Yahweh.’ ” [15] Also Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [16] “Son of man, behold, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down. [17] Sigh, but not aloud. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind your headdress on you, and put your sandals on your feet. Don’t cover your lips, and don’t eat mourner’s bread.” [18] So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. So I did in the morning as I was commanded. [19] The people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things mean to us, that you act like this?” [20] Then I said to them, “Yahweh’s word came to me, saying, [21] ‘Speak to the house of Israel, “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind will fall by the sword. [22] You will do as I have done. You won’t cover your lips or eat mourner’s bread. [23] Your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet. You won’t mourn or weep; but you will pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another. [24] Thus Ezekiel will be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’ ” ’ ” [25] “You, son of man, shouldn’t it 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 heart—their sons and their daughters— [26] that in that day he who escapes will come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears? [27] In that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped, and you will speak and be no more mute. So you will be a sign to them. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.”

King James Version
The End of the Siege
[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 unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [2] Son H1121 of man, H120 write H3789 (QalImpv) thee the name H8034 of the day, H3117 even of this same H6106 day: H3117 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 set H5564 (QalPerf) himself against Jerusalem H3389 this same H6106 day. H3117 [3] And utter H4911 (QalImpv) a parable H4912 unto the rebellious H4805 house, H1004 and say H559 (QalPerf) unto them, Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Set on H8239 (QalImpv) a pot, H5518 set it on, H8239 (QalImpv) and also pour H3332 (QalImpv) water H4325 into it: [4] gather H622 (QalImpv) the pieces H5409 thereof into it, even every good H2896 piece, H5409 the thigh, H3409 and the shoulder; H3802 fill H4390 (PielImpv) it with the choice H4005 bones. H6106 [5] Take H3947 (QalInf) the choice H4005 of the flock, H6629 and burn H1754§ also the bones H6106 under it, and make it boil H7570 (PielImpv) well, H7571 and let them seethe H1310 (QalPerf) the bones H6106 of it therein. H8432 [6] Wherefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Woe H188 to the bloody H1818 city, H5892 to the pot H5518 whose scum H2457 is therein, and whose scum H2457 is not gone out H3318 (QalPerf) of it! bring it out H3318 (HiphImpv) piece H5409 by piece; H5409 let no lot H1486 fall H5307 (QalPerf) upon it. [7] For her blood H1818 is in the midst H8432 of her; she set H7760 (QalPerf) it upon the top H6706 of a rock; H5553 she poured H8210 (QalPerf) it not upon the ground, H776 to cover H3680 (PielInf) it with dust; H6083 [8] that it might cause fury H2534 to come up H5927 (HiphInf) to take H5358 (QalInf) vengeance; H5359 I have set H5414 (QalPerf) her blood H1818 upon the top H6706 of a rock, H5553 that it should not be covered. H3680 (NiphInf) [9] Therefore thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Woe H188 to the bloody H1818 city! H5892 I will even make the pile H4071 for fire great. H1431 (HiphImpf) [10] Heap H7235 (HiphImpv) on wood, H6086 kindle H1814 (HiphInf) the fire, H784 consume H8552 (HiphInf) the flesh, H1320 and spice H7543 (HiphInf) it well, H4841 and let the bones H6106 be burned. H2787 (NiphImpf) [11] Then set H5975 (HiphInf) it empty H7386 upon the coals H1513 thereof, that the brass H5178 of it may be hot, H3179 (QalImpf) and may burn, H2787 (QalPerf) and that the filthiness H2932 of it may be molten H5413 (NiphPerf) in it, H8432 that the scum H2457 of it may be consumed. H8552 (QalImpf) [12] She hath wearied H3811 (HiphPerf) herself with lies, H8383 and her great H7227 scum H2457 went not forth H3318 (QalImpf) out of her: her scum H2457 shall be in the fire. H784 [13] In thy filthiness H2932 is lewdness: H2154 because I have purged H2891 (PielPerf) thee, and thou wast not purged, H2891 (QalPerf) thou shalt not be purged H2891 (QalImpf) from thy filthiness H2932 any more, till I have caused my fury H2534 to rest H5117 (HiphInf) upon thee. [14] I the Lord H3068 have spoken H1696 (PielPerf) it: it shall come to pass, H935 (QalActPtc) and I will do H6213 (QalPerf) it; I will not go back, H6544 (QalImpf) neither will I spare, H2347 (QalImpf) neither will I repent; H5162 (NiphImpf) according to thy ways, H1870 and according to thy doings, H5949 shall they judge H8199 (QalPerf) thee, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God. H3069 [15] Also the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [16] Son H1121 of man, H120 behold, I take away H3947 (QalActPtc) from thee the desire H4261 of thine eyes H5869 with a stroke: H4046 yet neither shalt thou mourn H5594 (QalImpf) nor weep, H1058 (QalImpf) neither shall thy tears H1832 run down. H935 (QalImpf)§ [17] Forbear H1826 (QalImpv)§ to cry, H602 (NiphInf) make H6213 (QalImpf) no mourning H60 for the dead, H4191 (QalPtc) bind H2280 (QalImpv) the tire of thine head H6287 upon thee, and put on H7760 (QalImpf) thy shoes H5275 upon thy feet, H7272 and cover H5844 (QalImpf) not thy lips,§ H8222 and eat H398 (QalImpf) not the bread H3899 of men. H582 [18] So I spake H1696 (PielImpf) unto the people H5971 in the morning: H1242 and at even H6153 my wife H802 died; H4191 (QalImpf) and I did H6213 (QalImpf) in the morning H1242 as I was commanded. H6680 (PualPerf) [19] And the people H5971 said H559 (QalImpf) unto me, Wilt thou not tell H5046 (HiphImpf) us what these things are to us, that thou doest H6213 (QalActPtc) so? [20] Then I answered H559 (QalImpf) them, The word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto me, saying, H559 (QalInf) [21] Speak H559 (QalImpv) unto the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God; H3069 Behold, I will profane H2490 (PielPtc) 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 ye have left H5800 (QalPerf) shall fall H5307 (QalImpf) by the sword. H2719 [22] And ye shall do H6213 (QalPerf) as I have done: H6213 (QalPerf) ye shall not cover H5844 (QalImpf) your lips, H8222 nor eat H398 (QalImpf) the bread H3899 of men. H582 [23] And your tires H6287 shall be upon your heads, H7218 and your shoes H5275 upon your feet: H7272 ye shall not mourn H5594 (QalImpf) nor weep; H1058 (QalImpf) but ye shall pine away H4743 (NiphPerf) for your iniquities, H5771 and mourn H5098 (QalPerf) one H376 toward another. H251 [24] Thus Ezekiel H3168 is unto you a sign: H4159 according to all that he hath done H6213 (QalPerf) shall ye do: H6213 (QalImpf) and when this cometh, H935 (QalInf) ye shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord H136 God. H3069 [25] Also, thou son H1121 of man, H120 shall it not be in the day H3117 when I take H3947 (QalInf) from them their strength, H4581 the joy H4885 of their glory, H8597 the desire H4261 of their eyes, H5869 and that whereupon they set H4853 their minds, H5315 their sons H1121 and their daughters, H1323 [26] that he that escapeth H6412 in that day H3117 shall come H935 (QalImpf) unto thee, to cause thee to hear H2045 it with thine ears? H241 [27] In that day H3117 shall thy mouth H6310 be opened H6605 (NiphImpf) to him which is escaped, H6412 and thou shalt speak, H1696 (PielImpf) and be no more dumb: H481 (NiphImpf) and thou shalt be a sign H4159 unto them; and they shall know H3045 (QalPerf) that I am the Lord.
