Ezekiel 24:1-5 ▼

1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, write the name of the day, this same day. The king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.

3 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says, “Put the cauldron on the fire. Put it on, and also pour water into it.

4 Gather its pieces into it, even every good piece: the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with the choice bones.

5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron. Make it boil well. Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.”
