Ezekiel 24:1-5

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

2"Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.

3And utter a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: "Set on the pot, set it on; pour in water also;

4put in it the pieces of meat, all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones.

5Take the choicest one of the flock; pile the logs under it; boil it well; seethe also its bones in it.
