b“Put on a pot, set it on,
And also pour water into it.
Every good piece,
The thigh and the shoulder.
Fill it with choice1 cuts;
Also pile fuel bones under it,
Make it boil well,
And let the cuts simmer in it.”
“Woe to athe bloody city,
To the pot whose scum is in it,
And whose scum is not gone from it!
Bring it out piece by piece,
On which no blot has fallen.

Ezekiel 24:4
Every good piece - All the chief of the inhabitants of the land, the wealthiest, who will fly from their country - houses to live in safety in Jerusalem: the most war - like, who will betake themselves to Jerusalem for its defence. Fill it - With those pieces that are biggest, fullest of marrow, and which are divided according to the bones; these are the principal members of the state, the king, princes, priests, magistrates, and the most wealthy citizens.
| << Ezekiel 24:3 | Ezekiel 24:5 >> |
