Again in the ninthH8671 yearH8141, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, writeH3789 thee the nameH8034 of the dayH3117, even of this sameH6106 dayH3117: the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 setH5564 himself against JerusalemH3389 this sameH6106 dayH3117.
And utterH4911 a parableH4912 unto the rebelliousH4805 houseH1004, and sayH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Set onH8239 a potH5518, set it onH8239, and also pourH3332 waterH4325 into it:
GatherH622 the piecesH5409 thereof into it, even every goodH2896 pieceH5409, the thighH3409, and the shoulderH3802; fillH4390 it with the choiceH4005 bonesH6106.
TakeH3947 the choiceH4005 of the flockH6629, and burnH1754 also the bonesH6106 under it, and make it boilH7570 wellH7571, and let them seetheH1310 the bonesH6106 of it thereinH8432. {burn: or, heap}
Wherefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892, to the potH5518 whose scumH2457 is therein, and whose scumH2457 is not gone outH3318 of it! bring it outH3318 pieceH5409 by pieceH5409; let no lotH1486 fallH5307 upon it.
For her bloodH1818 is in the midstH8432 of her; she setH7760 it upon the topH6706 of a rockH5553; she pouredH8210 it not upon the groundH776, to coverH3680 it with dustH6083;
That it might cause furyH2534 to come upH5927 to takeH5358 vengeanceH5359; I have setH5414 her bloodH1818 upon the topH6706 of a rockH5553, that it should not be coveredH3680.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892! I will even make the pileH4071 for fire greatH1431.
HeapH7235 on woodH6086, kindleH1814 the fireH784, consumeH8552 the fleshH1320, and spiceH7543 it wellH4841, and let the bonesH6106 be burnedH2787.
Then setH5975 it emptyH7386 upon the coalsH1513 thereof, that the brassH5178 of it may be hotH3179, and may burnH2787, and that the filthinessH2932 of it may be moltenH5413 in itH8432, that the scumH2457 of it may be consumedH8552.
She hath weariedH3811 herself with liesH8383, and her greatH7227 scumH2457 went not forthH3318 out of her: her scumH2457 shall be in the fireH784.
In thy filthinessH2932 is lewdnessH2154: because I have purgedH2891 thee, and thou wast not purgedH2891, thou shalt not be purgedH2891 from thy filthinessH2932 any more, till I have caused my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon thee.
I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it: it shall come to passH935, and I will doH6213 it; I will not go backH6544, neither will I spareH2347, neither will I repentH5162; according to thy waysH1870, and according to thy doingsH5949, shall they judgeH8199 thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Also the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, behold, I take awayH3947 from thee the desireH4261 of thine eyesH5869 with a strokeH4046: yet neither shalt thou mournH5594 nor weepH1058, neither shall thy tearsH1832 run downH935. {run down: Heb. go}
ForbearH1826 to cryH602, makeH6213 no mourningH60 for the deadH4191, bindH2280 the tire of thine headH6287 upon thee, and put onH7760 thy shoesH5275 upon thy feetH7272, and coverH5844 not thy lipsH8222, and eatH398 not the breadH3899 of menH582. {Forbear: Heb. Be silent} {lips: Heb. upper lip}
So I spakeH1696 unto the peopleH5971 in the morningH1242: and at evenH6153 my wifeH802 diedH4191; and I didH6213 in the morningH1242 as I was commandedH6680.
And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto me, Wilt thou not tellH5046 us what these things are to us, that thou doestH6213 so?
Then I answeredH559 them, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SpeakH559 unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will profaneH2490 my sanctuaryH4720, the excellencyH1347 of your strengthH5797, the desireH4261 of your eyesH5869, and that which your soulH5315 pitiethH4263; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 whom ye have leftH5800 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {that…: Heb. the pity of your soul}
And ye shall doH6213 as I have doneH6213: ye shall not coverH5844 your lipsH8222, nor eatH398 the breadH3899 of menH582.
And your tiresH6287 shall be upon your headsH7218, and your shoesH5275 upon your feetH7272: ye shall not mournH5594 nor weepH1058; but ye shall pine awayH4743 for your iniquitiesH5771, and mournH5098 oneH376 toward anotherH251.
Thus EzekielH3168 is unto you a signH4159: according to all that he hath doneH6213 shall ye doH6213: and when this comethH935, ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GODH3069.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, shall it not be in the dayH3117 when I takeH3947 from them their strengthH4581, the joyH4885 of their gloryH8597, the desireH4261 of their eyesH5869, and that whereupon they setH4853 their mindsH5315, their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, {that…: Heb. the lifting up of their soul}
That he that escapethH6412 in that dayH3117 shall comeH935 unto thee, to cause thee to hearH2045 it with thine earsH241?
In that dayH3117 shall thy mouthH6310 be openedH6605 to him which is escapedH6412, and thou shalt speakH1696, and be no more dumbH481: and thou shalt be a signH4159 unto them; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.

Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; WoeH188 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892! I will even make the pileH4071 for fire greatH1431.
Then setH5975 it emptyH7386 upon the coalsH1513 thereof, that the brassH5178 of it may be hotH3179, and may burnH2787, and that the filthinessH2932 of it may be moltenH5413 in itH8432, that the scumH2457 of it may be consumedH8552.
She hath weariedH3811 herself with liesH8383, and her greatH7227 scumH2457 went not forthH3318 out of her: her scumH2457 shall be in the fireH784.
In thy filthinessH2932 is lewdnessH2154: because I have purgedH2891 thee, and thou wast not purgedH2891, thou shalt not be purgedH2891 from thy filthinessH2932 any more, till I have caused my furyH2534 to restH5117 upon thee.
And to the othersH428 he saidH559 in mine hearingH241, GoH5674 ye afterH310 him through the cityH5892, and smiteH5221: let not your eyeH5869 spareH2347, neither have ye pityH2550: {mine hearing: Heb. mine ears}
So JoshuaH3091 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and broughtH7126 IsraelH3478 by their tribesH7626; and the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 was takenH3920:
And he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of JudahH3063; and he tookH3920 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227: and he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227 manH1397 by manH1397; and ZabdiH2067 was takenH3920:
And he broughtH7126 his householdH1004 manH1397 by manH1397; and AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, was takenH3920.
Ye have multipliedH7235 your slainH2491 in this cityH5892, and ye have filledH4390 the streetsH2351 thereof with the slainH2491.
The bellowsH4647 are burnedH2787, the leadH5777 is consumedH8552 of the fireH800+H784; the founderH6884 meltethH6884 in vainH7723: for the wickedH7451 are not plucked awayH5423.
SlayH2026 utterlyH4889 oldH2205 and youngH970, both maidsH1330, and little childrenH2945, and womenH802: but come not nearH5066 any manH376 upon whom is the markH8420; and beginH2490 at my sanctuaryH4720. Then they beganH2490 at the ancientH2205 menH582 which were beforeH6440 the houseH1004. {utterly: Heb. to destruction}
Then saidH559 he unto all IsraelH3478, Be ye on oneH259 sideH5676, and I and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121 will be on the otherH259 sideH5676. And the peopleH5971 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, DoH6213 what seemethH5869 goodH2896 unto thee.
Therefore SaulH7586 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, GiveH3051 a perfectH8549 lot. And SaulH7586 and JonathanH3129 were takenH3920: but the peopleH5971 escapedH3318. {Give…: or, Shew the innocent} {escaped: Heb. went forth}
And SaulH7586 saidH559, CastH5307 lots between me and JonathanH3129 my sonH1121. And JonathanH3129 was takenH3920.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Your slainH2491 whom ye have laidH7760 in the midstH8432 of it, they are the fleshH1320, and this city is the caldronH5518: but I will bring you forthH3318 out of the midstH8432 of it.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Your slainH2491 whom ye have laidH7760 in the midstH8432 of it, they are the fleshH1320, and this city is the caldronH5518: but I will bring you forthH3318 out of the midstH8432 of it.
Ye have fearedH3372 the swordH2719; and I will bringH935 a swordH2719 upon you, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And I will bring you outH3318 of the midstH8432 thereof, and deliverH5414 you into the handsH3027 of strangersH2114, and will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 among you.
And he smoteH5221 MoabH4124, and measuredH4058 them with a lineH2256, casting them downH7901 to the groundH776; even with twoH8147 linesH2256 measuredH4058 he to put to deathH4191, and with one fullH4393 lineH2256 to keep aliveH2421. And so the MoabitesH4124 became David'sH1732 servantsH5650, and broughtH5375 giftsH4503.
Now, thou sonH1121 of manH120, wilt thou judgeH8199, wilt thou judgeH8199 the bloodyH1818 cityH5892? yea, thou shalt shewH3045 her all her abominationsH8441. {judge: or, plead for} {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods?} {shew her: Heb. make her know}
This city shall not be your caldronH5518, neither shall ye be the fleshH1320 in the midstH8432 thereof; but I will judgeH8199 you in the borderH1366 of IsraelH3478:
And they have castH3032 lotsH1486 for my peopleH5971; and have givenH5414 a boyH3206 for an harlotH2181, and soldH4376 a girlH3207 for wineH3196, that they might drinkH8354.
Behold, the princesH5387 of IsraelH3478, every oneH376 were in thee to their powerH2220 to shedH8210 bloodH1818. {power: Heb. arm}
In thee have they set lightH7043 by fatherH1 and motherH517: in the midstH8432 of thee have they dealtH6213 by oppressionH6233 with the strangerH1616: in thee have they vexedH3238 the fatherlessH3490 and the widowH490. {oppression: or, deceit}
Thou hast despisedH959 mine holy thingsH6944, and hast profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
In thee are menH582 that carry talesH7400 to shedH8210 bloodH1818: and in thee they eatH398 upon the mountainsH2022: in the midstH8432 of thee they commitH6213 lewdnessH2154. {that…: Heb. of slanders}
Then saidH559 JoshuaH3091, OpenH6605 the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, and bring outH3318 those fiveH2568 kingsH4428 unto me out of the caveH4631.
In the dayH3117 that thou stoodestH5975 on the other side, in the dayH3117 that the strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his forcesH2428, and foreignersH5237 enteredH935 into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them. {captive…: or, his substance}
In thee have they takenH3947 giftsH7810 to shedH8210 bloodH1818; thou hast takenH3947 usuryH5392 and increaseH8636, and thou hast greedily gainedH1214 of thy neighboursH7453 by extortionH6233, and hast forgottenH7911 me, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
And they saidH559 every oneH376 to his fellowH7453, ComeH3212, and let us castH5307 lotsH1486, that we may knowH3045 for whose causeH7945 this evilH7451 is upon us. So they castH5307 lotsH1486, and the lotH1486 fellH5307 upon JonahH3124.
Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 thereof are like wolvesH2061 raveningH2963 the preyH2964, to shedH8210 bloodH1818, and to destroyH6 soulsH5315, to getH1214 dishonest gainH1215.
Yet was she carried awayH1473, she wentH1980 into captivityH7628: her young childrenH5768 also were dashed in piecesH7376 at the topH7218 of all the streetsH2351: and they castH3032 lotsH1486 for her honourable menH3513, and all her great menH1419 were boundH7576 in chainsH2131.
That they have committed adulteryH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027, and with their idolsH1544 have they committed adulteryH5003, and have also caused their sonsH1121, whom they bareH3205 unto me, to pass for them throughH5674 the fire, to devourH402 them.
Moreover this they have doneH6213 unto me: they have defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 in the same dayH3117, and have profanedH2490 my sabbathsH7676.
For when they had slainH7819 their childrenH1121 to their idolsH1544, then they cameH935 the same dayH3117 into my sanctuaryH4720 to profaneH2490 it; and, lo, thus have they doneH6213 in the midstH8432 of mine houseH1004.
And furthermoreH637, that ye have sentH7971 for menH582 to comeH935 from farH4801, unto whom a messengerH4397 was sentH7971; and, lo, they cameH935: for whom thou didst washH7364 thyself, paintedstH3583 thy eyesH5869, and deckedstH5710 thyself with ornamentsH5716, {to come: Heb. coming}
And satestH3427 upon a statelyH3520 bedH4296, and a tableH7979 preparedH6186 beforeH6440 it, whereupon thou hast setH7760 mine incenseH7004 and mine oilH8081. {stately: Heb. honourable}
And a voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995 being at easeH7961 was with her: and with the menH582 of the common sortH7230+H120 were broughtH935 SabeansH5436+H5433 from the wildernessH4057, which putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon their handsH3027, and beautifulH8597 crownsH5850 upon their headsH7218. {of the…: Heb. of the multitude of men} {Sabeans: or, drunkards}
Then saidH559 I unto her that was oldH1087 in adulteriesH5004, Will they now commitH2181 whoredomsH8457 with her, and she with them? {whoredoms…: Heb. her whoredoms}
Yet they went inH935 unto her, as they go inH935 unto a womanH802 that playeth the harlotH2181: so went they inH935 unto AholahH170 and unto AholibahH172, the lewdH2154 womenH802.
And the righteousH6662 menH582, they shall judgeH8199 them after the mannerH4941 of adulteressesH5003, and after the mannerH4941 of women that shedH8210 bloodH1818; because they are adulteressesH5003, and bloodH1818 is in their handsH3027.
Moreover ManassehH4519 shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 veryH3966 muchH7235, till he had filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 from one endH6310 to anotherH6310; beside his sinH2403 wherewith he made JudahH3063 to sinH2398, in doingH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. {from…: Heb. from mouth to mouth}
And also for the innocentH5355 bloodH1818 that he shedH8210: for he filledH4390 JerusalemH3389 with innocentH5355 bloodH1818; which the LORDH3068 wouldH14 not pardonH5545.
The goodH2623 man is perishedH6 out of the earthH776: and there is none uprightH3477 among menH120: they all lie in waitH693 for bloodH1818; they huntH6679 every manH376 his brotherH251 with a netH2764. {good: or, godly, or, merciful}
WoeH1945 to the bloodyH1818 cityH5892! it is all fullH4392 of liesH3585 and robberyH6563; the preyH2964 departethH4185 not; {bloody…: Heb. city of bloods}
ThatG3704 uponG1909 youG5209 may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 uponG1909 the earthG1093, fromG575 the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of BarachiasG914, whomG3739 ye slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 andG2532 the altarG2379.
AndG2532 whenG3752 they shall have finishedG5055 theirG846 testimonyG3141, the beastG2342 that ascendethG305 out ofG1537 the bottomless pitG12 shall makeG4160 warG4171 againstG3326 themG846, andG2532 shall overcomeG3528 themG846, andG2532 killG615 themG846.
AndG2532 theirG846 dead bodiesG4430 shall lie inG1909 the streetG4113 of the greatG3173 cityG4172, whichG3748 spirituallyG4153 is calledG2564 SodomG4670 andG2532 EgyptG125, whereG3699 alsoG2532 ourG2257 LordG2962 was crucifiedG4717.
