Ezekiel 24:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 The word of the Lord God came to me. This was on the tenth day of the tenth month, in the ninth year of exile. He said,
2 "Son of man, write today's date and this note: 'On this date the army of the king of Babylon surrounded Jerusalem.'
3 Tell this story to the family who refuses to obey (Israel). Tell them, 'This is what the Lord God says: "'Put the pot on the fire. Put on the pot and pour in the water.
4 Put in the pieces of meat. Put in every good piece, the thighs and the shoulders. Fill the pot with the best bones.
5 Use the best animals in the flock. Pile the wood under the pot, and boil the pieces of meat. Boil the soup until even the bones are cooked.
6 "'So this is what the Lord God says: It will be bad for Jerusalem. It will be bad for that city of murderers. Jerusalem is like a pot with rust on it, and those spots of rust cannot be removed! That pot is not clean, and the rust cannot be removed, so the meat must be thrown out and not divided among the priests.
7 Jerusalem is like a pot with rust on it. This is because the blood from the murders is still there! She put the blood on the bare rock. She did not pour the blood on the ground and cover it with dirt.
8 I put her blood on the bare rock, so it would not be covered. I did this so that people would become angry and punish her for killing innocent people.
9 "'So this is what the Lord God says: It will be bad for that city of murderers! I will pile up plenty of wood for the fire.
10 Put plenty of wood under the pot. Light the fire. Cook the meat well done. Mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.
11 Then let the pot stand empty on the coals. Let it become so hot that its stains begin to glow. Those stains will be melted away. The rust will be destroyed.
12 "'Jerusalem might work hard to scrub away her stains. But that 'rust' will not go away! Only the fire of punishment will remove it.
13 "'You sinned against me and became stained with sin. I wanted to wash you and make you clean, but the stains would not come out. I will not try washing you again until my hot anger is finished with you!
14 "'I am the Lord. I said your punishment would come, and I will make it happen. I will not hold back the punishment or feel sorry for you. I will punish you for the evil things you did. This is what the Lord God said.'"
15 Then the word of the Lord came to me. He said,
16 "Son of man, you love your wife very much, but I am going to take her away from you. Your wife will die suddenly, but you must not show your sadness. You must not cry loudly. You will cry and your tears will fall,
17 but you must mourn quietly. Dress as you normally do; wear your turban and sandals; don't cover your mustache, and don't eat the food people normally eat when someone dies."
18 The next morning I told the people what God had said. That evening, my wife died. The next morning I did what God commanded.
19 Then the people said to me, "Why are you doing this? What does it mean?"
20 Then I said to them, "The word of the Lord came to me. He told me
21 to speak to the family of Israel. The Lord God said, 'Look, I will destroy my holy place. You are proud of that place and sing songs of praise about it. You love to see it. You really love that place. But I will destroy it, and your children that you left behind will be killed in battle.
22 But you will do the same things that I have done about my dead wife. You will not cover your mustache or eat the food people normally eat when someone dies.
23 You will wear your turbans and your sandals. You will not show your sadness publicly or cry publicly, but you will waste away with guilt and talk to each other quietly about your grief.
24 So Ezekiel is an example for you. You will do all the same things he did. That time of punishment will come, and then you will know that I am the Lord.'"
25 The Lord said to me, "Son of man, I will take away the place that makes the people feel safe�Jerusalem, that beautiful city that makes them so happy. They really love that place. They love to look at it. But I will take it away from them, and I will also take their children. On that day one of the survivors will come to you with the bad news.
26 vnumber="26">
27 That same day you will be able to talk to the messenger. You will not be silent anymore. This will be a sign to the people, and they will know that I am the Lord."
1 Again in the ninth H8671 year, H8141 in the tenth H6224 month, H2320 in the tenth H6218 day of the month, H2320 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
2 Son H1121 of man, H120 write H3789 thee H853 the name H8034 of the day, H3117 H853 even of this H2088 same H6106 day: H3117 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 set H5564 himself against H413 Jerusalem H3389 this H2088 same H6106 day. H3117
3 And utter H4911 a parable H4912 unto H413 the rebellious H4805 house, H1004 and say H559 unto H413 them, Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Set on H8239 a pot, H5518 set it on, H8239 and also H1571 pour H3332 water H4325 into it:
4 Gather H622 the pieces H5409 thereof into H413 it, even every H3605 good H2896 piece, H5409 the thigh, H3409 and the shoulder; H3802 fill H4390 it with the choice H4005 bones. H6106
5 Take H3947 the choice H4005 of the flock, H6629 and burn H1752 also H1571 the bones H6106 under H8478 it, and make it boil H7570 well, H7571 and H1571 let them seethe H1310 the bones H6106 of it therein. H8432
6 Wherefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Woe H188 to the bloody H1818 city, H5892 to the pot H5518 whose H834 scum H2457 is therein , and whose scum H2457 is not H3808 gone out H3318 of H4480 it! bring it out H3318 piece H5409 by piece; H5409 let no H3808 lot H1486 fall H5307 upon H5921 it.
7 For H3588 her blood H1818 is H1961 in the midst H8432 of her ; she set H7760 it upon H5921 the top H6706 of a rock; H5553 she poured H8210 it not H3808 upon H5921 the ground, H776 to cover H3680 H5921 it with dust; H6083
8 That it might cause fury H2534 to come up H5927 to take H5358 vengeance; H5359 I have set H5414 H853 her blood H1818 upon H5921 the top H6706 of a rock, H5553 that it should not H1115 be covered. H3680
9 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Woe H188 to the bloody H1818 city H5892 ! I H589 will even H1571 make the pile for fire H4071 great. H1431
10 Heap on H7235 wood, H6086 kindle H1814 the fire, H784 consume H8552 the flesh, H1320 and spice it well H7543 H4841 , and let the bones H6106 be burned. H2787
11 Then set H5975 it empty H7386 upon H5921 the coals H1513 thereof, that H4616 the brass H5178 of it may be hot, H2552 and may burn, H2787 and that the filthiness H2932 of it may be molten H5413 in H8432 it, that the scum H2457 of it may be consumed. H8552
12 She hath wearied H3811 herself with lies, H8383 and her great H7227 scum H2457 went not forth H3318 H3808 out of H4480 her : her scum H2457 shall be in the fire. H784
13 In thy filthiness H2932 is lewdness: H2154 because H3282 I have purged H2891 thee , and thou wast not H3808 purged, H2891 thou shalt not H3808 be purged H2891 from thy filthiness H4480 H2932 any more, H5750 till H5704 I have caused H853 my fury H2534 to rest H5117 upon thee.
14 I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it : it shall come to pass, H935 and I will do H6213 it ; I will not H3808 go back, H6544 neither H3808 will I spare, H2347 neither H3808 will I repent; H5162 according to thy ways, H1870 and according to thy doings, H5949 shall they judge H8199 thee, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
15 Also the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
16 Son H1121 of man, H120 behold, H2009 I take away H3947 from H4480 thee H853 the desire H4261 of thine eyes H5869 with a stroke: H4046 yet neither H3808 shalt thou mourn H5594 nor H3808 weep, H1058 neither H3808 shall thy tears H1832 run down. H935
17 Forbear H1826 to cry, H602 make H6213 no H3808 mourning H60 for the dead, H4191 bind H2280 the tire of thine head H6287 upon H5921 thee , and put on H7760 thy shoes H5275 upon thy feet, H7272 and cover H5844 not H3808 thy lips, H8222 and eat H398 not H3808 the bread H3899 of men. H376
18 So I spoke H1696 unto H413 the people H5971 in the morning: H1242 and at even H6153 my wife H802 died; H4191 and I did H6213 in the morning H1242 as H834 I was commanded. H6680
19 And the people H5971 said H559 unto H413 me , Wilt thou not H3808 tell H5046 us what H4100 these H428 things are to us, that H3588 thou H859 doest H6213 so ?
20 Then I answered H559 H413 them , The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 unto H413 me, saying, H559
21 Speak H559 unto the house H1004 of Israel, H3478 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD; H3069 Behold, H2009 I will profane H2490 H853 my sanctuary, H4720 the excellency H1347 of your strength, H5797 the desire H4261 of your eyes, H5869 and that which your soul H5315 pitieth; H4263 and your sons H1121 and your daughters H1323 whom H834 ye have left H5800 shall fall H5307 by the sword. H2719
22 And ye shall do H6213 as H834 I have done: H6213 ye shall not H3808 cover H5844 H5921 your lips, H8222 nor H3808 eat H398 the bread H3899 of men. H376
23 And your tires H6287 shall be upon H5921 your heads, H7218 and your shoes H5275 upon your feet: H7272 ye shall not H3808 mourn H5594 nor H3808 weep; H1058 but ye shall pine away H4743 for your iniquities, H5771 and mourn H5098 one H376 toward H413 another. H251
24 Thus Ezekiel H3168 is H1961 unto you a sign: H4159 according to all H3605 that H834 he hath done H6213 shall ye do: H6213 and when this cometh, H935 ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
25 Also, thou H859 son H1121 of man, H120 shall it not H3808 be in the day H3117 when I take H3947 from H4480 them H853 their strength, H4581 the joy H4885 of their glory, H8597 H853 the desire H4261 of their eyes, H5869 and that whereupon they set H4853 their minds, H5315 their sons H1121 and their daughters, H1323
26 That he that escapeth H6412 in that H1931 day H3117 shall come H935 unto H413 thee , to cause thee to hear H2045 it with thine ears H241 ?
27 In that H1931 day H3117 shall thy mouth H6310 be opened to him which is escaped, H6412 and thou shalt speak, H1696 and be no more dumb H481 H3808: H5750 and thou shalt be H1961 a sign H4159 unto them ; and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the LORD. H3068
