Ezekiel 24:3-5

The Voice

³Tell this rebellious crowd a parable. Here is what the Eternal Lord has to say:

    Put the cooking pot on the fire;
        put it on and fill it with water.
⁴    Put the finest cuts of meat into it—legs and brisket;
        fill it with the best bones.
⁵    Pick out the best from the flock,
        stack wood beneath the pot,
    Bring it to a rolling boil,
        and cook what’s in the pot.
