1. And the word of Yahweh came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,
2. “Son of man, write for yourself the name of the day, this very day. The king of Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem on exactly this day!
3. And deliver a proverb to the rebellious house, and you must say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Place the pot! Place it and also pour water into it.
4. Gather its pieces to it, every good piece, thigh and shoulder, fill it with choice bones;
5. take the choicest of the flock, and also pile the bones under it; boil it vigorously; indeed, its bones boiled in the midst of it.” ’ ”
