Eze 24:2

Eze 24:2'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 --

Eze 24:3

Eze 24:3and 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,

Eze 24:4

Eze 24:4To gather its pieces unto it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, the choice of the bones to fill in.

Eze 24:5

Eze 24:5The 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.

Eze 24:6

Eze 24:6Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo 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.

Eze 24:7

Eze 24:7For 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.

Eze 24:8

Eze 24:8To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock -- not to be covered.

Eze 24:9

Eze 24:9Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo to the city of blood, yea, I -- I make great the pile.

Eze 24:10

Eze 24:10Make abundant the wood, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burnt.

Eze 24:11

Eze 24:11And 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.

Eze 24:12

Eze 24:12With sorrows she hath wearied herself, And the abundance of her scum goeth not out of her, In the fire is her scum.

Eze 24:13

Eze 24:13In 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.

Eze 24:14

Eze 24:14I, 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.'
