Ezekiel 24:2-4

International Standard Version

²“Son of Man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem on this very day. ³So compose a parable for the rebellious house. Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says:

“Prepare your pot for boiling!
    Set it in place.
        Fill it up with water, too.
⁴Gather together the best pieces of meat on it—
    including the thighs and the shoulders—
        and fill it with the choicest bones.
