The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day. | 2 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day. | 2 "Son of man, write down today's date. The king of Babylon has surrounded Jerusalem this very day. | 2 Son of man, write the name of the day, [even] of this same day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day. | 2 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. | 3 "Speak a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Put on the pot, put it on and also pour water in it; | 3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it: | 3 Tell these rebellious people a story.

| 6 'Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Woe to the bloody city, To the pot in which there is rust And whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, Without making a choice. | 6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it. | 6 " 'This is what the Almighty LORD says: How horrible it will be for that city of murderers, for that tarnished pot. Its tarnish will not come off. Empty the meat out of it piece by piece without choosing any particular piece. | 6 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! take out of it piece after piece; No lot is fallen on it. | 6 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: | 7 "For her blood is in her midst; She placed it on the bare rock; She did not pour it on the ground To cover it with dust. | 7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust; | 7 Blood is still in that city. The blood was poured on a bare rock. It wasn't poured on the ground where dust would cover it. | 7 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it on the bare rock; she didn't pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust. | 7 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. | 8 "That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, That it may not be covered." | 8 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered. | 8 In order to stir up my fury so that I would pay that city back, I put the blood of its victims on a bare rock. Now that blood can't be covered. | 8 That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not be covered. | 8 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. | 9 'Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. | 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great. | 9 " 'This is what the Almighty LORD says: How horrible it will be for that city of murderers. I, too, will pile the wood high. | 9 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. | 9 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. | 10 "Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, Boil the flesh well And mix in the spices, And let the bones be burned. | 10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. | 10 Pile it high, and light the fire.

Even the fire can't take away its thick tarnish. | 12 She has wearied [herself] with toil; yet her great rust doesn't go forth out of her; her rust doesn't [go forth] by fire. | 12 She hath exhausted her labours, yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her: let her rust be in the fire. | 13 "In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I would have cleansed you, Yet you are not clean, You will not be cleansed from your filthiness again Until I have spent My wrath on you. | 13 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee. | 13 I tried to clean you of your filthy lust, but you wouldn't clean yourself from your filth. You will never be clean until I unleash my fury on you. | 13 In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren't cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest. | 13 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. | 14 "I, the LORD, have spoken; it is coming and I will act. I will not relent, and I will not pity and I will not be sorry; according to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you," declares the Lord GOD.'" | 14 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD. | 14 I, the LORD, have spoken. It will happen, and I will do it. I will not ignore you, pity you, or change my plans. I will punish you because of the way you lived and because of everything you have done,' " declares the Almighty LORD. | 14 I, Yahweh, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your doings, shall they judge you, says the Lord Yahweh. | 14 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.
