Ezekiel 24:3

Symbol of the Cooking Pot

1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, write down the name of the day, this very day—the king of Babylon started his siege against Jerusalem ^athis very day.

3 ^aAnd utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
^b“Put on a pot, set it on,
And also pour water into it.

4 Gather pieces of meat in it,
Every good piece,
The thigh and the shoulder.
Fill it with choice¹ cuts;

5 Take the choice of the flock.
Also pile fuel bones under it,
Make it boil well,
And let the cuts simmer in it.”

6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“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.

7 For her blood is in her midst;
She set it on top of a rock;
^aShe did not pour it on the ground,
To cover it with dust.
