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.

For I have setH7760 my faceH6440 against this cityH5892 for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: it shall be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of BabylonH894, and he shall burnH8313 it with fireH784.
And I will purge outH1305 from among you the rebelsH4775, and them that transgressH6586 against me: I will bring them forthH3318 out of the countryH776 where they sojournH4033, and they shall not enterH935 into the landH127 of IsraelH3478: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
And the ChaldeansH3778, that fightH3898 against this cityH5892, shall comeH935 and setH3341 fireH784 on this cityH5892, and burnH8313 it with the housesH1004, upon whose roofsH1406 they have offered incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168, and poured outH5258 drink offeringsH5262 unto otherH312 godsH430, to provoke me to angerH3707.
And I will scatterH6327 thee among the heathenH1471, and disperseH2219 thee in the countriesH776, and will consumeH8552 thy filthinessH2932 out of thee.
And thou shalt take thine inheritanceH2490+H5157 in thyself in the sightH5869 of the heathenH1471, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {shalt take…: or, shalt be profaned}
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 is to me become drossH5509: all they are brassH5178, and tinH913, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564; they are even the drossH5509 of silverH3701. {dross of silver: Heb. drosses, etc}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because ye are all become drossH5509, behold, therefore I will gatherH6908 you into the midstH8432 of JerusalemH3389.
As they gatherH6910 silverH3701, and brassH5178, and ironH1270, and leadH5777, and tinH913, into the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, to blowH5301 the fireH784 upon it, to meltH5413 it; so will I gatherH6908 you in mine angerH639 and in my furyH2534, and I will leaveH3240 you there, and meltH5413 you. {As…: Heb. According to the gathering}
Yea, I will gatherH3664 you, and blowH5301 upon you in the fireH784 of my wrathH5678, and ye shall be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof.
As silverH3701 is meltedH2046 in the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564, so shall ye be meltedH5413 in the midstH8432 thereof; and ye shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have poured outH8210 my furyH2534 upon you.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
For though ye had smittenH5221 the whole armyH2428 of the ChaldeansH3778 that fightH3898 against you, and there remainedH7604 but woundedH1856 menH582 among them, yet should they rise upH6965 every manH376 in his tentH168, and burnH8313 this cityH5892 with fireH784. {wounded: Heb. thrust through}
They shall also stripH6584 thee out of thy clothesH899, and take awayH3947 thy fairH8597 jewelsH3627. {fair…: Heb. instruments of thy decking}
But if thou wilt not go forthH3318 to the kingH4428 of Babylon'sH894 princesH8269, then shall this cityH5892 be givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the ChaldeansH3778, and they shall burnH8313 it with fireH784, and thou shalt not escape outH4422 of their handH3027.
Thus will I make thy lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 from thee, and thy whoredomH2184 brought from the landH776 of EgyptH4714: so that thou shalt not lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 unto them, nor rememberH2142 EgyptH4714 any more.
And the ChaldeansH3778 burnedH8313 the king'sH4428 houseH1004, and the housesH1004 of the peopleH5971, with fireH784, and brake downH5422 the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389.
And the companyH6951 shall stoneH7275 them with stonesH68, and dispatchH1254 them with their swordsH2719; they shall slayH2026 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, and burn upH8313 their housesH1004 with fireH784. {dispatch…: or, single them out}
And burnedH8313 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and the king'sH4428 houseH1004; and all the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and all the housesH1004 of the greatH1419 men, burnedH8313 he with fireH784:
Thus will I cause lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673 out of the landH776, that all womenH802 may be taughtH3256 not to doH6213 after your lewdnessH2154.
Then will I sprinkleH2236 cleanH2889 waterH4325 upon you, and ye shall be cleanH2891: from all your filthinessH2932, and from all your idolsH1544, will I cleanseH2891 you.
And I will turnH7725 my handH3027 upon thee, and purelyH1253 purge awayH6884 thy drossH5509, and take awayH5493 all thy tinH913: {purely: Heb. according to pureness}
When the LordH136 shall have washed awayH7364 the filthH6675 of the daughtersH1323 of ZionH6726, and shall have purgedH1740 the bloodH1818 of JerusalemH3389 from the midstH7130 thereof by the spiritH7307 of judgmentH4941, and by the spiritH7307 of burningH1197.
By thisH2063 therefore shall the iniquityH5771 of JacobH3290 be purgedH3722; and this is all the fruitH6529 to take awayH5493 his sinH2403; when he makethH7760 all the stonesH68 of the altarH4196 as chalkstonesH1615 that are beaten in sunderH5310, the grovesH842 and imagesH2553 shall not stand upH6965. {images: or, sun images}
And I will cut offH3772 the citiesH6145+H5892 of thy landH776, and throw downH2040 all thy strong holdsH4013:
And I will cut offH3772 witchcraftsH3785 out of thine handH3027; and thou shalt have no more soothsayersH6049:
Thy graven imagesH6456 also will I cut offH3772, and thy standing imagesH4676 out of the midstH7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more worshipH7812 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027. {standing…: or, statues}
And I will pluck upH5428 thy grovesH842 out of the midstH7130 of thee: so will I destroyH8045 thy citiesH6145+H5892. {cities: or, enemies}
In that dayH3117 there shall be a fountainH4726 openedH6605 to the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 for sinH2403 and for uncleannessH5079. {uncleanness: Heb. separation for uncleanness}
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that I will cut offH3772 the namesH8034 of the idolsH6091 out of the landH776, and they shall no more be rememberedH2142: and also I will cause the prophetsH5030 and the uncleanH2932 spiritH7307 to passH5674 out of the landH776.
And it shall come to pass, that in all the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, twoH8147 partsH6310 therein shall be cut offH3772 and dieH1478; but the thirdH7992 shall be leftH3498 therein.
And I will bringH935 the third partH7992 through the fireH784, and will refineH6884 them as silverH3701 is refinedH6884, and will tryH974 them as goldH2091 is triedH974: they shall callH7121 on my nameH8034, and I will hearH6030 them: I will sayH559, It is my peopleH5971: and they shall sayH559, The LORDH3068 is my GodH430.
For, behold, the dayH3117 comethH935, that shall burnH1197 as an ovenH8574; and all the proudH2086, yea, and all that doH6213 wickedlyH7564, shall be stubbleH7179: and the dayH3117 that comethH935 shall burn them upH3857, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, that it shall leaveH5800 them neither rootH8328 nor branchH6057.
WhoseG3739 fanG4425 is inG1722 hisG846 handG5495, andG2532 he will throughly purgeG1245 hisG846 floorG257, andG2532 gatherG4863 hisG846 wheatG4621 intoG1519 the garnerG596; butG1161 he will burn upG2618 the chaffG892 with unquenchableG762 fireG4442.
