Ezekiel 24 (WEBP)

[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.”

[1] Again in the ninth year , in the tenth month , in the tenth [day] of the month , the word of the LORD came unto me, saying (),
[2] Son of man , write () thee the name of the day , [even] of this same day : the king of Babylon set () himself against Jerusalem this same day .
[3] And utter () a parable unto the rebellious 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 () upon 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 LORD 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 LORD 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 LORD 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 .

[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 LORD .

Young’s Literal Translation

Ezekiel 24 (YLT)

[1] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, saying,
[2] ‘Son of man, write for thee the name of the day-this self-same day leaned hath the king of Babylon toward Jerusalem in this self-same day-
[3] and use unto the rebellious house a simile, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To set on the pot, to set it on, and also to pour into it water,
[4] To gather its pieces unto it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, the choice of the bones to fill in.
[5] The choice of the flock to take, And also to pile of the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, yea, cook its bones in its midst.
[6] Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood, A pot whose scum is in it, And its scum hath not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, Not fallen on it hath a lot.
[7] For her blood in her midst hath been, On a clear place of a rock she hath set it, She hath not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
[8] To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock-not to be covered.
[9] Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood, yea, I-I make great the pile.
[10] Make abundant the wood, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burnt.
[11] And cause it to stand on its coals empty, So that its brass is hot and burning, Melted hath been in its midst its uncleanness, Consumed is its scum.
[12] With sorrows she hath wearied herself, And the abundance of her scum goeth not out of her, In the fire is her scum.
[13] In thine uncleanness is wickedness, Because I have cleansed thee, And thou hast not been cleansed, From thine uncleanness thou art not cleansed again, Till I have caused My fury to rest on thee.
[14] I, Jehovah, hath spoken, It hath come, and I have done it, I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I repent, According to thy ways, and according to thine acts, they have judged thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.’
[15] And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
[16] ‘Son of man, lo, I am taking from thee the desire of thine eyes by a stroke, and thou dost not mourn, nor weep, nor let thy tear come.
[17] Cease to groan, for the dead thou dost make no mourning, thy bonnet bind on thee, and thy shoes thou dost put on thy feet, and thou dost not cover over the upper lip, and bread of men thou dost not eat.’
[18] And I speak unto the people in the morning, and my wife dieth in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
[19] And the people say unto me, ‘Dost thou not declare to us what these are to us, that thou art doing?’
[20] And I say unto them, ‘A word of Jehovah hath been unto me, saying:
[21] Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword they do fall.
[22] And ye have done as I have done, On the upper lip ye are not covered, And bread of men ye do not eat.
[23] And your bonnets are on your heads, And your shoes are on your feet, Ye do not mourn nor do ye weep, And ye have wasted away for your iniquities, And ye have howled one unto another.
[24] And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all that he hath done ye do; In its coming in-ye have known that I am the Lord Jehovah.
[25] And thou, son of man, Is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, And the song of their soul, Their sons and their daughters?
[26] In that day come doth the escaped one to thee. To cause the ears to hear.
[27] In that day opened is thy mouth with the escaped, And thou speakest, and art not silent any more, And thou hast been to them for a type. And they have known that I am Jehovah.’
