24:1. And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the
tenth month, the tenth day of the month, saying:
24:2. Son of man, write thee the name of this day, on which the king of
Babylon hath set himself against Jerusalem to day.
24:3. And thou shalt speak by a figure a parable to the provoking house,
and say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Set on a pot, set it on, I
say, and put water in it.
24:4. Heap together into it the pieces thereof, every good piece, the
thigh and the shoulder, choice pieces and full of bones.
24:5. Take the fattest of the flock, and lay together piles of bones
under it: the seething thereof is boiling hot, and the bones thereof are
thoroughly sodden in the midst of it.
24:6. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the
pot whose rust is in it, and its rust is not gone out of it: cast it out
piece by piece, there hath no lot fallen upon it.
24:7. For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the
smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be
covered with dust.
24:8. And that I might bring my indignation upon her, and take my
vengeance: I have shed her blood upon the smooth rock, that it should
not be covered.
24:9. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, of
which I will make a great bonfire.
24:10. Heap together the bones, which I will burn with fire: the flesh
shall be consumed, and the whole composition shall be sodden, and the
bones shall be consumed.
24:11. Then set it empty upon burning coals, that it may be hot, and the
brass thereof may be melted: and let the filth of it be melted in the
midst thereof, and let the rust of it be consumed.
24:12. Great pains have been taken, and the great rust thereof is not
gone out, not even by fire.
24:13. Thy uncleanness is execrable: because I desired to cleanse thee,
and thou art not cleansed from thy filthiness: neither shalt thou be
cleansed, before I cause my indignation to rest in thee.
24:14. I the Lord have spoken: it shall come to pass, and I will do it:
I will not pass by, nor spare, nor be pacified: I will judge thee
according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, saith the Lord.
24:15. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24:16. Son of man, behold I take from thee the desire of thy eyes with a
stroke, and thou shall not lament, nor weep; neither shall thy tears run
down.
24:17. Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of
thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy
face, nor eat the meat of mourners.
24:18. So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the
evening: and I did in the morning as he had commanded me.
24:19. And the people said to me: Why dost thou not tell us what these
things mean that thou doest?
24:20. And I said to them: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24:21. Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I
will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that
your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your
daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.
24:22. And you shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your faces,
nor shall you eat the meat of mourners.
24:23. You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you
shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities,
and every one shall sigh with his brother.
