BBE

NIV

1 And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
1 In the ninth year, in the tenth month on the tenth day, the word of the LORD came to me:
2 Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.
2 “Son of man, record this date, this very date, because the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.
3 And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:
3 Tell this rebellious people a parable and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: “ ‘Put on the cooking pot; put it on and pour water into it.
4 And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.
4 Put into it the pieces of meat, all the choice pieces—the leg and the shoulder. Fill it with the best of these bones;
5 Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.
5 take the pick of the flock. Pile wood beneath it for the bones; bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.
6 For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.
6 “ ‘For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “ ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now encrusted, whose deposit will not go away! Take the meat out piece by piece in whatever order it comes.
