Ezekiel 24:1-6
English Standard Version
The Siege of Jerusalem
24 (A)In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me: 2 (B)“Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day. 3 And (C)utter a parable to (D)the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God:
“Set on (E)the pot, set it on;
pour in water also;
4 put in it the pieces of meat,
all the good pieces, (F)the thigh and the shoulder;
fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choicest one of the flock;
pile the logs[a] under it;
boil it well;
seethe also its bones in it.
6 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: (G)Woe to the bloody city, to (H)the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.[b]
