Ezekiel 24

The Message Bible MSG

1 The Message of God came to me in the ninth year, the tenth month, and the tenth day of the month:

2 "Son of man, write down this date. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.

3 Tell this company of rebels a story: "'Put on the soup pot. Fill it with water.

4 Put chunks of meat into it, all the choice pieces - loin and brisket. Pick out the best soup bones

5 from the best of the sheep in the flock. Pile wood beneath the pot. Bring it to a boil and cook the soup.

6 "'God, the Master, says: "'Doom to the city of murder, to the pot thick with scum, thick with a filth that can't be scoured. Empty the pot piece by piece; don't bother who gets what.

7 "'The blood from murders has stained the whole city; Blood runs bold on the street stones, with no one bothering to wash it off -

8 Blood out in the open to public view to provoke my wrath, to trigger my vengeance.

9 "'Therefore, this is what God, the Master, says: "'Doom to the city of murder! I, too, will pile on the wood.

10 Stack the wood high, light the match, Cook the meat, spice it well, pour out the broth, and then burn the bones.

11 Then I'll set the empty pot on the coals and heat it red-hot so the bronze glows, So the germs are killed and the corruption is burned off.

12 But it's hopeless. It's too far gone. The filth is too thick.

13 "'Your encrusted filth is your filthy sex. I wanted to clean you up, but you wouldn't let me. I'll make no more attempts at cleaning you up until my anger quiets down.

14 I, God, have said it, and I'll do it. I'm not holding back. I've run out of compassion. I'm not changing my mind. You're getting exactly what's coming to you. Decree of God, the Master.'"

15 God's Message came to me:

16 "Son of man, I'm about to take from you the delight of your life - a real blow, I know. But, please, no tears.

17 Keep your grief to yourself. No public mourning. Get dressed as usual and go about your work - none of the usual funeral rituals."

18 I preached to the people in the morning. That evening my wife died. The next morning I did as I'd been told.

19 The people came to me, saying, "Tell us why you're acting like this. What does it mean, anyway?"

20 So I told them, "God's Word came to me, saying,

21 'Tell the family of Israel, This is what God, the Master, says: I will desecrate my Sanctuary, your proud impregnable fort, the delight of your life, your heart's desire. The children you left behind will be killed.

22 "'Then you'll do exactly as I've done. You'll perform none of the usual funeral rituals.

23 You'll get dressed as usual and go about your work. No tears. But your sins will eat away at you from within and you'll groan among yourselves.

24 Ezekiel will be your example. The way he did it is the way you'll do it. "'When this happens you'll recognize that I am God, the Master.'''

25 "And you, son of man: The day I take away the people's refuge, their great joy, the delight of their life, what they've most longed for, along with all their children

26 - on that very day a survivor will arrive and tell you what happened to the city.

27 You'll break your silence and start talking again, talking to the survivor. Again, you'll be an example for them. And they'll recognize that I am God."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono in mense decimo decima mensis dicens

2 fili hominis scribe tibi nomen diei huius in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Hierusalem hodie

3 et dices per proverbium ad domum inritatricem parabolam et loqueris ad eos haec dicit Dominus Deus pone ollam pone inquam et mitte in ea aquam

4 congere frusta eius in ea omnem partem bonam femur et armum electa et ossibus plena

5 pinguissimum pecus adsume conpone quoque struices ossuum sub ea efferbuit coctio eius et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio eius

6 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus vae civitati sanguinum ollae cuius rubigo in ea est et rubigo eius non exivit de ea per partes et per partes suas eice eam non cecidit super eam sors

7 sanguis enim eius in medio eius est super limpidissimam petram effudit illum non effudit illum super terram ut possit operiri pulvere

8 ut superducerem indignationem meam et vindicta ulciscerer dedi sanguinem eius super petram limpidissimam ne operiretur

9 propterea haec dicit Dominus Deus vae civitati sanguinum cuius ego grandem faciam pyram

10 congere ossa quae igne succendam consumentur carnes et concoquetur universa conpositio et ossa tabescent

11 pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam ut incalescat et liquefiat aes eius et confletur in medio eius inquinamentum eius et consumatur rubigo eius

12 multo labore sudatum est et non exibit de ea nimia rubigo eius neque per ignem

13 inmunditia tua execrabilis quia mundare te volui et non es mundata a sordibus tuis sed nec mundaberis prius donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te

14 ego Dominus locutus sum venit et faciam non transeam nec parcam nec placabor iuxta vias tuas et iuxta adinventiones tuas iudicavi te dicit Dominus

15 et factum est verbum Domini ad me dicens

16 fili hominis ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga et non planges neque plorabis neque fluent lacrimae tuae

17 ingemesce tacens mortuorum luctum non facies corona tua circumligata sit tibi et calciamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis nec amictu ora velabis nec cibos lugentium comedes

18 locutus sum ergo ad populum mane et mortua est uxor mea vesperi fecique mane sicut praeceperat mihi

19 et dixit ad me populus quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent quae tu facis

20 et dixi ad eos sermo Domini factus est ad me dicens

21 loquere domui Israhel haec dicit Dominus Deus ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum superbiam imperii vestri et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum et super quo pavet anima vestra et filii vestri et filiae quas reliquistis gladio cadent

22 et facietis sicut feci ora amictu non velabitis et cibos lugentium non comedetis

23 coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris et calciamenta in pedibus non plangetis neque flebitis sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum

24 eritque Hiezecihel vobis in portentum iuxta omnia quae fecit facietis cum venerit istud et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus

25 et tu fili hominis ecce in die quo tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum et gaudium dignitatis et desiderium oculorum eorum super quo requiescunt animae eorum filios et filias eorum

26 in die illa cum venerit fugiens ad te ut adnuntiet tibi

27 in die inquam illa aperietur os tuum cum eo qui fugit et loqueris et non silebis ultra erisque eis in portentum et scietis quia ego Dominus
