The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 31: Ezechiel: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Ezekiel
23:40. They sent for men coming from afar, to whom they had sent a
messenger: and behold they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, and
didst paint thy eyes, and wast adorned with women's ornaments.
23:41. Thou sattest on a very fine bed, and a table was decked before
thee: whereupon thou didst set my incense, and my ointment.
23:42. And there was in her the voice of a multitude rejoicing: and to
some that were brought of the multitude of men, and that came from the
desert, they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their
heads.
23:43. And I said to her that was worn out in her adulteries: Now will
this woman still continue in her fornication.
23:44. And they went in to her, as to a harlot: so went they in unto
Oolla, and Ooliba, wicked women.
23:45. They therefore are just men: these shall judge them as
adulteresses are judged, and as shedders of blood are judged: because
they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
23:46. For thus saith the Lord God: Bring a multitude upon them, and
deliver them over to tumult and rapine:
23:47. And let the people stone them with stone, and let them be stabbed
with their swords: they shall kill their sons and daughters, and their
houses they shall burn with fire.
23:48. And I will take away wickedness out of the land: and all women
shall learn, not to do according to the wickedness of them.
23:49. And they shall render your wickedness upon you, and you shall
bear the sins of your idols: and you shall know that I am the Lord God.
Ezechiel Chapter 24
Under the parable of a boiling pot is shewn the utter destruction of
Jerusalem: for which the Jews at Babylon shall not dare to mourn.
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.
