Ezekiel 24

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 It was the ninth year since King Jehoiachin had been brought to Babylon as a prisoner. On the tenth day of the tenth month, a message came to me from the Lord. He said,

2 "Son of man, write down today's date. The king of Babylonia has surrounded Jerusalem and attacked it this very day.

3 "Your people refuse to obey me. So tell them a story. Say to them, 'The LORD and King told me, " ' "Put a cooking pot on the fire. Pour water into it.

4 Put pieces of meat in it. Use all of the best pieces. Use the leg and shoulder. Fill it with the best bones.

5 Pick the finest animal in the flock. Pile wood under the pot to cook the bones. Bring the water to a boil. Cook the bones in it." ' "

6 The LORD and King says, "How terrible it will be for this city! It has so many murderers in it. How terrible for the pot that is coated with scum! The scum on it will not go away. Take the meat and bones out of the pot piece by piece. Do not cast lots for them.

7 "The blood Jerusalem's people spilled is inside its walls. They poured it out on a bare rock. They did not pour it on the ground. If they had, dust would have covered it up.

8 So I put their blood on the bare rock. I did not want it to be covered up. I poured my burning anger out on them. I paid them back."

9 So the LORD and King said to me, "How terrible it will be for this city! It has so many murderers in it. I too will pile the wood high.

10 So pile on the wood. Light the fire. Cook the meat well. Mix in the spices. Let the bones be blackened.

11 Then set the empty pot on the coals. Let it get hot. Let its copper glow. Then what is not pure in it will melt. Its scum will be burned away.

12 But it can't be cleaned up. Its thick scum has not been removed. Even fire can't burn it off.

13 "Jerusalem, you are really impure. I tried to clean you up. But you would not let me make you pure. So you will not be clean again until my burning anger against you has calmed down.

14 "I have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back. I will not feel sorry for you. I will do what I said I would do. You will be judged for your conduct and actions. I am the Lord," announces the LORD and King.

15 A message came to me from the Lord. He said,

16 "Son of man, I will take away from you the wife you delight in. It will happen very soon. But do not sing songs of sadness. Do not let any tears flow from your eyes.

17 Groan quietly. Do not sob out loud over your wife when she dies. Keep your turban on your head. Keep your sandals on your feet. Do not cover the lower part of your face. Do not eat the food people eat to comfort them when someone dies."

18 So I spoke to my people in the morning. And in the evening my wife died. The next morning I did what I had been commanded to do.

19 Then the people said to me, "Tell us what these things have to do with us."

20 So I told them. I said, "A message came to me from the Lord. He said,

21 'Speak to the people of Israel. Tell them, "The LORD and King says, 'I am about to pollute my temple. I will let the Babylonians burn it down. It is the beautiful building you are so proud of. You take delight in it. You love it. The sons and daughters you left behind will be killed with swords.

22 " ' " 'So do what Ezekiel did. Do not cover the lower part of your face. Do not eat the food people eat to comfort them when someone dies.

23 Keep your turbans on your heads. Keep your sandals on your feet. Do not cry or sob. You will waste away because you have sinned so much. You will groan among yourselves.

24 " ' " 'What Ezekiel has done will show you what is going to happen to you. You will do just as he has done. Then you will know that I am the LORD and King.' " '

25 "Son of man, I will take away their beautiful temple. It is their joy and glory. They take delight in it. Their hearts long for it. I will also take away their sons and daughters.

26 On the day I destroy everything, a man will escape. He will come and tell you the news.

27 "At that time I will open your mouth. Then you will no longer be silent. You will speak with the man. That will show them what will happen to them. And they will know that I am the Lord."

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
