Today is the 12th day of November. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I'm Brian.

It's great to be here with you today and every day. And of course here we are at the sparkly, shiny threshold of a brand

new week. Looking at the week, we will continue to journey our way through the book of Ezekiel.

And in the New Testament, we will conclude this week the book of Hebrews,

and move forward into James and we will read from the

common English Bible this week so let's dive, Ezekiel chapter 24 verse 1 through 26 verse 21.

In the 9's word, in the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month,

the Lord's Word came to me.

Human one. Write down today's date because today the King of

Babylon has set up camp at Jerusalem. Today, compose a parable for the rebels household and say to them,

the Lord God proclaims, put on the pot, set it on and fill it with water. Add meat to it. Every good

piece with shoulder and thigh the mediest bones fill it up.

Take the flock's best animal. Arrange the wood beneath it, bring it to a rolling boil, and cook its bones

in it. The Lord God proclaims, horror, you bloody city, you corroded pot, pot whose corrosion can't be removed.

Empty it, piece by piece.

She is rejected because her blood is still with her.

She didn't pour it out on the ground so that it could be covered with dirt,

but she spread it out on a bare rock.

In order to arouse wrath, to guarantee vengeance, I will spread her blood on a bare rock,

never to be covered.

So now the Lord God proclaims, horror, you bloody city, I myself will add fuel to the fire.

Pile on the wood, light the fire and cook the meats.
