{Ezekiel 24:1} 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, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:2} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:3} 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: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:4} Gather the pieces thereof into it, [even] every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:5} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:6} 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 up on it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:7} 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; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:8} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:9} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:10} Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:11} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:12} She hath wearied [herself] with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum [shall be] in the fire. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:13} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:14} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:15} Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:16} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:17} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:18} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:19} And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these [things are] to us, that thou doest [so? ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:20} Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:21} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:22} And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover [your] lips, nor eat the bread of men. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:23} And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:24} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:25} 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, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:26} [That] he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause [thee] to hear [it] with [thine] ears? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Ezekiel 24:27} 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.
