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.” ’ ”
