Ezekiel 24:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible
2 “Son of man, write down today’s date, for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.
3 Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.
4 Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece— thigh and shoulder— fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
