Ezechiel 24

1 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me in anno nono, in mense decimo, decima die mensis, dicens :

2 Fili hominis, scribe tibi nomen diei hujus, in qua confirmatus est rex Babylonis adversum Jerusalem hodie.

3 Et dices per proverbium ad domum irritatricem parabolam, et loqueris ad eos : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Pone ollam ; pone, inquam, et mitte in eam aquam.

4 Congere frusta ejus in eam, omnem partem bonam, femur et armum, electa et ossibus plena.

5 Pinguissimum pecus assume, compone quoque strues ossium sub ea : efferbuit coctio ejus, et discocta sunt ossa illius in medio ejus.

6 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Væ civitati sanguinum, ollæ cujus rubigo in ea est, et rubigo ejus non exivit de ea ! Per partes et per partes suas ejice eam : non cecidit super eam sors.

7 Sanguis enim ejus in medio ejus est, super limpidissimam petram effudit illum : et effudit illum super terram, et possit operiri pulvere.

8 Ut superinducerem indignationem meam, et vindicta ulciscerer, dedi sanguinem ejus super petram limpidissimam, ne operiretur.

9 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Væ civitati sanguinum, cujus ego grandem faciam pyram !

10 Congere ossa, quæ igne succendam : consumentur carnes, et coquetur universa compositio, et ossa tabescent.

11 Pone quoque eam super prunas vacuam, ut incalescat, et liquefiat æs ejus, et confletur in medio ejus inquinamentum ejus, et consumatur rubigo ejus.

12 Multo labore sudatum est, et non exivit de ea nimia rubigo ejus, neque per ignem.

13 Immunditia tua execrabilis, quia mundare te volui, et non es mundata a sordibus tuis : sed nec mundaberis prius, donec quiescere faciam indignationem meam in te.

14 Ego Dominus locutus sum : veniet, et faciam : non transeam, nec parcam, nec placabor : juxta vias tuas, et juxta adinventiones tuas judicabo te, dicit Dominus.

15 Et factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens :

16 Fili hominis, ecce ego tollo a te desiderabile oculorum tuorum in plaga : et non planges, neque plorabis, neque fluent lacrimæ tuæ.

17 Ingemisce tacens : mortuorum luctum non facies : corona tua circumligata sit tibi, et calceamenta tua erunt in pedibus tuis : nec amictu ora velabis, nec cibos lugentium comedes.

18 Locutus sum ergo ad populum mane, et mortua est uxor mea vespere : fecique mane sicut præceperat mihi.

19 Et dixit ad me populus : Quare non indicas nobis quid ista significent quæ tu facis ?

20 Et dixi ad eos : Sermo Domini factus est ad me, dicens :

21 Loquere domui Israël : Hæc dicit Dominus Deus : Ecce ego polluam sanctuarium meum, superbiam imperii vestri, et desiderabile oculorum vestrorum, et super quo pavet anima vestra : filii vestri, et filiæ vestræ, quas reliquistis, gladio cadent.

22 Et facietis sicut feci : ora amictu non velabitis, et cibos lugentium non comedetis :

23 coronas habebitis in capitibus vestris, et calceamenta in pedibus : non plangetis, neque flebitis, sed tabescetis in iniquitatibus vestris, et unusquisque gemet ad fratrem suum.

24 Eritque Ezechiel vobis in portentum : juxta omnia quæ fecit, facietis cum venerit istud : et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus.

25 Et tu, fili hominis, ecce in die qua tollam ab eis fortitudinem eorum, et gaudium dignitatis, et desiderium oculorum eorum, super quo requiescunt animæ eorum, filios et filias eorum :

26 in die illa, cum venerit fugiens ad te ut annuntiet tibi :

27 in die, inquam illa, aperietur os tuum cum eo qui fugit : et loqueris, et non silebis ultra : erisque eis in portentum, et scietis quia ego Dominus.

9656. 'And they shall be paired from below, and at the same time paired up to its head' means a joining together from without and from within. This is clear from the meaning of 'being paired' as being made to act jointly; from the meaning of 'from below' as from without, since the Word portrays what exists outwardly as that which is below, and what exists inwardly as that which is above, 3084, 4599, 5146, 8325 (so that things deep down are more outward and those high up more inward, 2148, 4210, 4599); and from the meaning of 'the head', in the expression 'from below up to the head', as from within. The reason why 'the head' has this meaning is that the head is above the body, and by things above are meant those that are inward, as has just been stated; and in addition to this a person's inward powers are located in the head, for in it reside the beginnings of the senses and motions, and the beginnings are inmost because they are the source from which everything else flows. These beginnings are like wellsprings from which streams of water flow.

[2] This also goes to explain why inward things are portrayed in the Word as 'the head', as in Isaiah,

Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, the branch and the bulrush in one day. Isaiah 9:14.

In the same prophet,

There will not be for Egypt [any] work which the head and tail, branch and bulrush will do. Isaiah 19:15.

This refers to the Church, the inward things of which are 'the head' and the outward ones 'the tail'.

[3] In the same prophet,

On all heads there is baldness; every beard is shaved off. Isaiah 15:2.

'Baldness on heads' stands for the absence of good and truth in inward things, 'beard shaved off' for the absence of good and truth in outward things. In Jeremiah,

You will be put to shame by Egypt, as you were put to shame by Asshur, and your hands will be on your head. For Jehovah has loathed your defences. Jeremiah 2:36-37.

This describes shame on account of the loss of the Church's forms of good and its truths, brought about by factual knowledge and by reasonings based on it, 'Egypt' being factual knowledge and 'Asshur' reasoning based on it. 'Hands on head' stands for covering over inward things owing to shame. Something similar occurs elsewhere in the same prophet,

They were put to shame and subjected to ignominy, and they covered their heads. Jeremiah 14:3-4; 2 Samuel 13:19.
