24 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, came the Word of the LORD to me, saying:
2 “Son of man, write the name of the day, of this same day. The king of Babel set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
3 “Therefore, speak a parable to the rebellious House, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Prepare a pot. Prepare it, and also pour water into it.
4 “Gather pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones.
5 “Take one of the best sheep, also, and burn the bones under it. Make it boil well and simmer its bones inside.”
6 ‘Because the Lord GOD says thus, “Woe to the bloody city, to the pot, whose scum is inside, and whose scum has not gone out of it. Bring it out, piece by piece. Let no lot fall upon it.
7 “For her blood is in the midst of her. She set it upon a high rock and did not pour it upon the ground to cover it with dust,
8 “so that it might cause wrath to arise and take vengeance. I have set her blood upon a high rock so that it would not be covered.”
9 ‘Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: “Woe to the bloody city! For I will make the burning great.
10 “Heap on much wood! Kindle the fire! Consume the flesh and cast in spice! And let the bones be burnt!
11 “Then set it upon its coals empty, so that the bronze of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12 “She has wearied herself with lies, and her great scum did not go out of her. Therefore, her scum shall be consumed with fire!
13 “Wickedness is in your filthiness. Because I would have purged you, and you were not purged, you shall not be purged from your filthiness until I have caused My wrath to light upon you.
14 “I, the LORD, have spoken it. It shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back, nor will I spare, nor will I relent. According to your ways and according to your works shall they judge you,” says the LORD God.’”
15 Also the Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
16 “Son of man, behold, I take away the pleasure of your eyes from you with a plague. Still, you shall neither mourn nor weep, nor shall your tears run down.
17 “Cease from sighing. Make no mourning for the dead. Bind the turban upon your head and put your shoes on your feet. Do not cover your lips and do not eat the bread of men.”
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning. And in the evening, my wife died. And in the morning, I did as I was Commanded.
19 And the people said to me, “Will you not tell us what these things that you are doing mean for us?”
20 Then I answered them. The Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
21 “Speak to the House of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I will pollute My Sanctuary, the pride of your power, the pleasure of your eyes, and your heart’s desire. And your sons and your daughters whom you have left shall fall by the sword.
22 “And you shall do as I have done. You shall neither cover your lips nor shall you eat the bread of men.
23 “And your turban shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet. You shall neither mourn nor weep, but you shall pine away in your iniquities and mourn one toward another.
24 “Thus Ezekiel is a sign to you. According to all that he has done, you shall do. And when this comes, you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.”’
25 “As for you, son of man, shall it not be—on the day when I take their power from them, the joy of their honor, the pleasure of their eyes, and the desire of their heart, their sons and their daughters—
26 “that he who escapes on that day shall come to you with that which he has heard with his ears?
27 “On that day your mouth shall be opened to him who has escaped; and you shall speak and no longer be dumb. And you shall be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.”
25 The Word of the LORD came again to me, saying:
2 “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them,
3 “and say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the Word of the Lord GOD! Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because you said, ‘Ha, ha!’ against My Sanctuary when it was defiled, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the House of Judah when they went into captivity,
4 “behold, therefore, I will deliver you to the men of the East for a possession. And they shall set their palaces in you and make their dwellings in you. They shall eat your fruit and they shall drink your milk.
5 “And I will make Rabbah a dwelling place for camels, and the Ammonites a sheepcote. And you shall know that I am the LORD.”
6 ‘For thus says the Lord GOD: “Because you have clapped the hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your spite against the land of Israel,
7 “behold, therefore, I will stretch out My Hand upon you, and will deliver you to be plundered by the heathen. And I will root you out from the people; and I will cause you to perish from the countries. I will destroy you. And you shall know that I am the LORD.”
8 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the House of Judah is like all the heathen,’
9 “therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab, of the cities, of its cities on its frontiers with the pleasant country: Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kirjathaim.
10 “And I will give it and the Ammonites to the men of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites shall no longer be remembered among the nations.
11 “And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.”
12 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because of what Edom has done by taking vengeance upon the House of Judah, and committing great offense, and avenging himself upon them,”
13 ‘therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: “I will also stretch out My Hand upon Edom and destroy man and beast from it. And I will make it desolate from Teman. And those of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
14 “And I will execute My vengeance upon Edom by the hand of My people Israel. And they shall do in Edom according to My anger, and according to My indignation. And they shall know My vengeance,” says the Lord GOD.
15 ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Because the Philistines have executed vengeance, and avenged themselves with a spiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred,”
16 ‘therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “behold, I will stretch out My Hand upon the Philistines. And I will cut off the Cherethims and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.
17 “And I will execute great vengeance upon them with rebukes of My indignation. And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay My vengeance upon them.”’”
26 And in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the Word of the LORD came to me, saying:
2 “Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha, the gate of the people is broken. It has turned to me. Seeing she is desolate, I shall be replenished,’
3 “therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, I come against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea mounts up with its waves.
4 ‘And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her and make her like the top of a rock.
5 ‘You shall be for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea. For I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘And it shall be plunder for the nations.
6 ‘And her daughters who are in the field shall be killed by the sword. And they shall know that I am the LORD.’”
7 For thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I will bring Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel upon Tyre, a king of kings from the North, with horses and with chariots and with horsemen and with a multitude of many people.
8 “He shall kill your daughters in the field with the sword. And he shall make a fort against you, and cast a siege mound against you, and lift up the shield against you.
9 “He shall set his engines of war against your walls and break down your towers with his weapons.
10 “The dust of his horses shall cover you, because of their multitude. Your walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, as into the entry of a city that is broken down.
11 “With the hooves of his horses he shall tread down all your streets. He shall kill the people by the sword; and the pillars of your strength shall fall down to the ground.
12 “And they shall rob your riches and spoil your merchandise. And they shall break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. And they shall cast your stones and your timber and your dust into the midst of the water.
13 “Thus I will cause the sound of your songs to cease; and the sound of your harps shall no longer be heard.
14 “I will lay you like the top of a rock. You shall be for a spreading of nets. You shall no longer be built. For I, the LORD, have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.
15 Thus says the Lord GOD to Tyre: “Shall not the isles tremble at the sound of your fall, and at the cry of the wounded, when they shall be killed and murdered in the midst of you?
16 “Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones. They shall put away their robes, and take off their embroidered garments, and shall clothe themselves with astonishment. They shall sit upon the ground and be astonished at every moment and be amazed at you.
17 “And they shall take up a lamentation for you, and say to you, ‘O, you who was inhabited in the sea — the renowned city which was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their fear to be on all who haunt them—how you are destroyed!
18 ‘Now the isles shall be astonished on the day of your fall! Yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at your departure!’”
19 For thus says the Lord GOD: “When I shall make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, and when I shall bring the deep upon you, and great waters shall cover you.
20 “then I shall cast you down with those who descend into the pit with the people of old time and shall set you in the low parts of the Earth like the old ruins — indeed with those who go down to the pit—so that you shall not be inhabited. And I shall show My Glory in the land of the living.
21 “I will bring you to nothing, and you shall be no more. Though you be sought for, you shall never be found again,” says the Lord GOD.
11 Now faith is the confidence of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it our elders were given a good report.
3 Through faith, we understand that the world was ordained by the Word of God, so that the things which we see are not made of things which are visible.
4 By faith, Abel offered a greater sacrifice to God than Cain - by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts - also by which he, being dead, still speaks.
5 By faith, Enoch was translated, so that he would not see death. Nor was he found. For God had taken him away. For before he was transformed, it was reported of him that he had pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him. He who comes to God must believe that God is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
7 By faith, Noah being warned by God of the things which were as yet not seen, moved with reverence, prepared the Ark to the saving of his household (through which He condemned the world), and was made heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he would receive for inheritance afterward. And he went out, not knowing where he went.
9 By faith, he dwelt in the Land of Promise - as in a strange country - living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.
10 For he awaited a city having a foundation whose Builder and Maker is God.
11 Through faith, Sarah also received strength to conceive seed and delivered a child when she was past age, because she judged Him Who had promised faithful.
12 And therefore, even from one who was as good as dead, there sprang so many; as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand of the seashore, which is innumerable.
13 All these died in faith and did not receive the promises. But they saw them at a distance and believed, and received thankfully, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the Earth.
14 For those who say such things, plainly declare that they seek a country.
15 And if they had been mindful of from where they had come, they had opportunity to return.
16 But now they desire a better (that is, a heavenly). Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God. For He has prepared a city for them.
110 The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.”
2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your power out of Zion. Be ruler in the midst of Your enemies.
3 Your people shall come willingly at the time of assembling Your army in Holy beauty. The youth of Your womb shall be as the morning dew.
4 The LORD swore, and will not repent, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord at Your right hand shall wound kings on the day of His wrath.
6 He shall be judge among the heathen. He shall fill all with dead bodies and strike the leaders of great countries.
7 He shall drink from the brook on the way. Therefore, He shall lift up His head. Praise the LORD
14 He who praises his friend with a loud voice (rising early in the morning), it shall be counted to him as a curse.
