Ezekiel 24:1-5

1Again, 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 this very day.

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

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

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