Ezekiel 24:4
The pieces thereof - Or, that belong to it; i. e., the pieces which are designed for the caldron, and belong to it as the inhabitants belong to the city. The choice pieces are the choice members of the community Ezekiel 11:3.
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.
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;
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.”
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.
“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.
She set it on top of a rock;
aShe did not pour it on the ground,
To cover it with dust.
