And in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
The Siege of Jerusalem
In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:
Son of man, write thee the name of the day, of this selfsame day: on this selfsame day the king of Babylon draws near to Jerusalem.
“Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.
And propose a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot, set [it] on, and also pour water into it.
And utter a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God:
“Set on the pot, set it on;
pour in water also;
“Set on the pot, set it on;
pour in water also;
Gather the pieces thereof into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones:
put in it the pieces of meat,
all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder;
fill it with choice bones.
all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder;
fill it with choice bones.
take the choice of the flock; and also [put] a pile of wood under it, for the bones; make it boil well, and let the bones of it seethe therein.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it:
for her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust.
For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust.
That it might cause fury to come up to execute vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, boil thoroughly the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Then set it empty upon its coals, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, [and] that its rust may be consumed.
Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed.
She hath exhausted [her] labours, yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her: let her rust be in the fire.
In thy filthiness is lewdness, for I have purged thee, and thou art not pure. Thou shalt no more be purged from thy filthiness, till I have satisfied my fury upon thee.
On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you.
I Jehovah have spoken [it]: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, nor will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.”

And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel’s Wife Dies
The word of the Lord came to me:
The word of the Lord came to me:
Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke; yet thou shalt not mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
“Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down.
Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead; bind thy turban upon thee, and put thy sandals upon thy feet, and cover not the beard, and eat not the bread of men.
Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet; do not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.”
-- And I spoke unto the people in the morning; and at even my wife died. And I did in the morning as I was commanded.
So I spoke to the people in the morning, and at evening my wife died. And on the next morning I did as I was commanded.
And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, which thou doest?
And the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean for us, that you are acting thus?”
And I said to them, The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Then I said to them, “The word of the Lord came to me:
Say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and your soul's longing; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.
‘Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind shall fall by the sword.
And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover the beard, neither eat the bread of men;
And you shall do as I have done; you shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
and your turbans shall be upon your heads, and your sandals upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall waste away in your iniquities and moan one toward another.
Your turbans shall be on your heads and your shoes on your feet; you shall not mourn or weep, but you shall rot away in your iniquities and groan to one another.
Thus Ezekiel shall be unto you a sign; according to all that he hath done shall ye do: when it cometh, then ye shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
Thus shall Ezekiel be to you a sign; according to all that he has done you shall do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the Lord God.’
And 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 whereunto they lift up their soul, their sons and their daughters,
“As for you, son of man, surely on the day when I take from them their stronghold, their joy and glory, the delight of their eyes and their soul’s desire, and also their sons and daughters,
that in that day he that escapeth shall come unto thee, to cause [thine] ears to hear [it]?
on that day a fugitive will come to you to report to you the news.
In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him that is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb. So shalt thou be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
On that day your mouth will be opened to the fugitive, and you shall speak and be no longer mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the Lord.”
