Ezekiel 24:1-7 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
On January 15, a during the ninth year of King Jehoiachin's captivity, this message came to me from the LORD:
2
"Son of man, write down today's date, because on this very day the king of Babylon is beginning his attack against Jerusalem.
3
Then show these rebels an illustration; give them a message from the Sovereign LORD. Put a pot of water on the fire to boil.
4
Fill it with choice meat -- the rump and the shoulder and all the most tender cuts.
5
Use only the best sheep from the flock and heap fuel on the fire beneath the pot. Bring the pot to a boil, and cook the bones along with the meat.
6
"Now this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Destruction is certain for Jerusalem, the city of murderers! She is a pot filled with corruption. So take the meat out chunk by chunk in whatever order it comes,
7
for her wickedness is evident to all. She murders boldly, leaving blood on the rocks for all to see. She doesn't even try to cover it!
