2. Son of man, write down today’s date this very day, for on this very day the king of Babylon lays siege to Jerusalem.
3. Propose this parable to the rebellious house and say to them: Thus says the Lord God:Put the pot on, put it on!Pour in some water;
4. Add to it pieces of meat,all choice pieces;With thigh and shoulder,with choice cuts fill it.
5. Choose the pick of the flock,then pile logs beneath it;Bring it to a boil,cook all the pieces in it.
6. Therefore thus says the Lord God:Woe to the city full of blood!A pot containing filth,whose filth cannot be removed!Take out its pieces one by one,for no lot has fallen on their behalf.
