Ezekiel 24:3-11 So compose a parable for the rebellious house. Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Prepare your pot for boiling! Set it in place. Fill it up with water, too.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ So compose a parable for the rebellious house. Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Prepare your pot for boiling! Set it in place. Fill it up with water, too. ⁴ Gather together the best pieces of meat on it— including the thighs and the shoulders— and fill it with the choicest bones. ⁵ Take the best bones from the flock, pile wood under the pot for the bones, bring it to a boil, and then cook the bones in it.”’”
⁶ Woe to Jerusalem“This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How terrible it is for that blood-filled city, to the pot whose rust remains in it, whose rust won’t come off. Empty it one piece at a time. Don’t let a lot fall on it. ⁷ Her blood was in it. She poured it out onto bare rock. She didn’t pour it out on the ground, intending to cover it with dirt. ⁸ In order to stir up my anger and in order to take vengeance, I set the blood on a bare rock so that it cannot be covered.’
⁹ “Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘How terrible it is for that blood-filled city— I’m also going to add to my pile of kindling. ¹⁰ Pile up the wood! Make the fire burn hot. Boil the meat! Mix the seasonings. Burn those bones to a crisp! ¹¹ Make the pot stand empty on the coals until its bronze glows red, its rust can be scoured off, and its dross completely removed.
