3
The LORD told me to say, "Kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem, listen to what I, the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, have to say. I am going to bring such a disaster on this place that everyone who hears about it will be stunned.
4
I am going to do this because the people have abandoned me and defiled this place by offering sacrifices here to other gods---gods that neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah have known anything about. They have filled this place with the blood of innocent people,
5
and they have built altars for Baal in order to burn their children in the fire as sacrifices. I never commanded them to do this; it never even entered my mind.
6
So then, the time will come when this place will no longer be called Topheth or Hinnom Valley. Instead, it will be known as Slaughter Valley.

Ezekiel 12:1-28
1
The LORD spoke to me.
2
"Mortal man," he said, "you are living among rebellious people. They have eyes, but they see nothing; they have ears, but they hear nothing, because they are rebellious.
3
"Now, mortal man, pack a bundle just as a refugee would and start out before nightfall. Let everyone see you leaving and going to another place. Maybe those rebels will notice you.
4
While it is still daylight, pack your bundle for exile, so that they can see you, and then let them watch you leave in the evening as if you were going into exile.
5
While they are watching, break a hole through the wall of your house and take your pack out through it.
6
Let them watch you putting your pack on your shoulder and going out into the dark with your eyes covered, so that you can't see where you are going. What you do will be a warning to the Israelites."
7
I did what the LORD told me to do. That day I packed a bundle as a refugee would, and that evening as it was getting dark I dug a hole in the wall with my hands and went out. While everyone watched, I put the pack on my shoulder and left.
8
The next morning the LORD spoke to me.
9
"Mortal man," he said, "now that those Israelite rebels are asking you what you're doing,
10
tell them what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying to them. This message is for the prince ruling in Jerusalem and for all the people who live there.
11
Tell them that what you have done is a sign of what will happen to them---they will be refugees and captives.
12
The prince who is ruling them will shoulder his pack in the dark and escape through a hole that they dig for him in the wall. He will cover his eyes and not see where he is going.

16
I will let a few of them survive the war, the famine, and the diseases, so that there among the nations they will realize how disgusting their actions have been and will acknowledge that I am the LORD."
17
The LORD spoke to me.
18
"Mortal man," he said, "tremble when you eat, and shake with fear when you drink.
19
Tell the whole nation that this is the message of the Sovereign LORD to the people of Jerusalem who are still living in their land: They will tremble when they eat and shake with fear when they drink. Their land will be stripped bare, because everyone who lives there is lawless.
20
Cities that are now full of people will be destroyed, and the country will be made a wilderness. Then they will know that I am the LORD."
21
The LORD spoke to me.
22
"Mortal man," he said, "why do the people of Israel repeat this proverb: 'Time goes by, and predictions come to nothing'?
23
Now tell them what I, the Sovereign LORD, have to say about that. I will put an end to that proverb. It won't be repeated in Israel any more. Tell them instead: The time has come, and the predictions are coming true!
24
"Among the people of Israel there will be no more false visions or misleading prophecies.
25
I, the LORD, will speak to them, and what I say will be done. There will be no more delay. In your own lifetime, you rebels, I will do what I have warned you I would do. I have spoken," says the Sovereign LORD.
26
The LORD said to me,
27
"Mortal man, the Israelites think that your visions and prophecies are about the distant future.
28
So tell them that I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying: There will be no more delay. What I have said will be done. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!"
Ezekiel 24:3-12
3
Tell my rebellious people this parable that I, the Sovereign LORD, have for them: Set the pot on the fire and fill it up with water.
4
Put in the best pieces of meat--- the shoulders and the legs--- fill it with choice bony pieces too.
5
Use the meat of the finest sheep; pile the wood under the pot. Let the water boil; boil the bones and the meat."
6
This is what the Sovereign LORD is saying: "The city of murderers is doomed! It is like a corroded pot that is never cleaned. Piece after piece of meat is taken out, and not one is left.
7
There was murder in the city, but the blood was not spilled on the ground where the dust could hide it; it was spilled on a bare rock.
8
I have left the blood there, where it cannot be hidden, where it demands angry revenge."
9
This is what the Sovereign LORD is saying: "The city of murderers is doomed! I myself will pile up the firewood.
10
Bring more wood! Fan the flames! Cook the meat! Boil away the broth! Burn up the bones!
11
Now set the empty bronze pot on the coals and let it get red-hot. Then the pot will be ritually pure again after the corrosion is burned off,
12
although all that corrosion will not disappear in the flames.
