Ezekiel 24:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Gather the [a]pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, as the thigh and the shoulder, and fill it with the chief bones.
5 Take one of the best sheep, and [b]burn also the [c]bones under it, and make it boil well, and seethe the bones of it therein,
6 Because the Lord God saith thus, Woe to the bloody city, even to the pot, [d]whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it: bring it out [e]piece by piece: let no [f]lot fall upon it.
