Ezekiel 24:1 (NLT) - 1 On January 15, during the ninth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, this message came to me from the Lord:
 
Ezekiel 24:2 (NLT) - 2 “Son of man, write down today’s date, because on this very day the king of Babylon is beginning his attack against Jerusalem.
 
Ezekiel 24:3 (NLT) - 3
Then give these rebels an illustration with this message from the Sovereign Lord:

“Put a pot on the fire,
and pour in some water.
 
Ezekiel 24:5 (NLT) - 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.
 
Ezekiel 24:6 (NLT)

6 “Now this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
What sorrow awaits Jerusalem,
the city of murderers!
She is a cooking pot
whose corruption can’t be cleaned out.
Take the meat out in random order,
for no piece is better than another.
 
Ezekiel 24:9 (NLT)
This is what the Soveriegn Lord says:
What sorrow awaits Jerussalem,
the city of murderers!
I myself will pile up the fuel beneath her.
 
Ezekiel 24:10 (NLT)
Yes, heap on the wood!
Let the fire roar to make the pot boil.
Cook the meat with many spices,
and afterward burn the bones.
 
Ezekiel 24:13 (NLT)

13 Your impurity is your lewdness
and the corruption of your idolatry.
I tried to cleanse you,
but you refused.
So now you will remain in your filth
until my fury against you has been satisfied.
 
Ezekiel 24:14 (NLT)

14 “I, the Lord, have spoken! The time has come, and I won’t hold back. I will not change my mind, and I will have no pity on you. You will be judged on the basis of all your wicked actions, says the Sovereign Lord.”
