ABP - Ezekiel - 24

24:1  And [3came 1the word 2of the lord] to me in the [2year 1ninth], in the [2month 1tenth], tenth of the month, saying,

24:2  O son of man, write for yourself the name of the day from this day, from which [3fastened 1the king 2of Babylon] upon Jerusalem, even from [2day 1today's]!

24:3  And speak [2against 3the 5house 4rebelling 1a parable]! And you shall say to them, Thus says Adonai the lord; Set up the kettle! Set up and pour [2into 3it 1water]!

24:4  And put into it its pieces! every [2piece 1good] -- the leg, and shoulder, tearing off the flesh from the bones,

24:5  [2from 3choice 4cattle 1having taken], then fire up the bones underneath them; boiled erupted and cooked are her bones in her midst.

24:6  On account of this, thus says Adonai the lord; O city of bloodshed, a kettle in which there is poison in it, and the poison did not come forth out of her; [2by 3her limb 1they brought forth]; [2fell not 3unto 4her 1a lot].

24:7  For her blood [2in 3her midst 1became]; upon a smooth rock I arranged it; I have not poured it upon the ground to cover [2upon 3it 1earth].

24:8  But to let [2ascend 1rage] for a punishment, to be punished I put her blood upon a smooth rock, so as to not cover it.

24:9  On account of this, thus says Adonai the lord; Woe, O city of blood, I also shall magnify the firebrand,

24:10  and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, so that [3should melt away 1the 2meats], and [3should be lessened 1the 2broth], and the bones shall be parched;

24:11  and it should stand upon her coals, so that it should be burnt through and [2should be heated 1her brass utensils], and [2should melt away 3in 4the midst 5of her 1her uncleanness], and [2should fail 1her poison],

24:12  and in no way shall there come forth from out of her much of her poison.

24:13  [2shall be a disgrace 1Her poison] in the [2of your uncleanness 1boiling], and because you were defiled yourself, and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, then what if you should not be cleansed any more until of which time I shall fill up my rage in you?

24:14  I the lord have spoken, and it shall come, and I will do; I will not warn nor show mercy, and in no way will I comfort; according to your ways, and according to your thoughts I will judge you, says Adonai the lord.

24:15  And [3came 1the word 2of the lord] to me, saying,

24:16  O son of man, behold, I take from you the desirable things of your eyes in battle array; but in no way shall you beat your chest, nor in any way shall you weep, nor in any way should [2come 3to you 1tears].

24:17  You shall moan being silent; [2a moaning 3of bloodshed 4of a loin 1it is]; [3for mankind 2a mourning 1you shall not make]. [3shall not be 1The 2hair on your head] braided upon you, and your sandals shall be on your feet; and in no way shall you be comforted by their lips, and the bread of men in no way shall you eat.

24:18  And I spoke to the people in the morning, in which manner he gave charge to me. And [2died 1my wife] at evening. And I did in the morning in which manner orders were given to me.

24:19  And [3said 4to 5me 1the 2people], Will you not report to us what these things are which you do?

24:20  And I said to them, The word of the lord came to me, saying,

24:21  Say to the house of Israel! Thus says Adonai the lord; Behold, I will profane my holy places, the neighing of your strength, the desirable things of your eyes, and for what [2spare 1your souls]; and your sons and your daughters whom you abandoned [2by 3the broadsword 1will fall].

24:22  And you shall do in which manner I have done. From their mouth you shall not be comforted, and the bread of men you shall not eat.

24:23  And your hair shall be upon your head, and your sandals on your feet; neither shall you lament, nor shall you weep; and you shall melt away in your iniquities, and [2shall comfort 1each] his brother.

24:24  And Ezekiel will be to you for a portent; and according to all as many things as he did you shall do. Whenever these things should come, then you shall realize that I am the lord.

24:25  And you, O son of man, shall it not be in the day whenever I take their strength from them, the haughtiness of their boasting, the desirable things of their eyes, and the haughtiness of their soul, their sons, and their daughters,

24:26  that in that day [3shall come 1the one 2escaping] to you, to announce to you in your ears?

24:27  In that day [2shall be opened wide 1your mouth] to the one having escaped, and you shall speak, and in no way shall you be mute any longer. And you will be to them for a portent; and they shall realize that I am the lord.
