Utter

“Son of man, propound a riddle and speak a parable to the house of Israel,

and say,
‘What was your mother?
A lioness among lions!
She lay down among young lions,
She reared her cubs.

Then I said, “Ah Lord God! They are saying of me, ‘Is he not just speaking parables?’”

I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,

“On that day they will take up against you a taunt
And

utter a bitter lamentation and say,

‘We are completely destroyed!
He exchanges the portion of my people;
How He removes it from me!
To the apostate He apportions our fields.’

And they were seeking to seize Him, and yet they feared the people, for they understood that He spoke the parable against them. And so they left Him and went away.

And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

The rebellious

Then He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house.”

“Son of man, you live in the midst of the rebellious house, who have eyes to see but do not see, ears to hear but do not hear; for they are a rebellious house.

“Say now to the rebellious house, ‘Do you not know what these things mean?’ Say, ‘Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took its king and princes and brought them to him in Babylon.

Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth;

For the Lord speaks,
“Sons I have reared and brought up,
But they have revolted against Me.

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord,
“Who execute a plan, but not Mine,
And

make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,

In order to add sin to sin;

But they rebelled
And grieved His Holy Spirit;
Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy,
He fought against them.

“You men who are stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears are always resisting the Holy Spirit; you are doing just as your fathers did.

Set

‘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.

who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This city is the pot and we are the flesh.’

“Because of the indignation of the Lord she will not be inhabited,
But she will be completely desolate;
Everyone who passes by Babylon will be horrified
And will hiss because of all her wounds.
