Chapter 24
3And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it: 4Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. 5Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein. 6Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
3Now speak a parable to the rebellious house. Tell them, 'This is what the Lord God says: Put the pot on the fire -- put it on, and then pour water into it! 4Place the pieces of meat in it, every good piece -- thigh and shoulder. Fill it with choice bones. 5Take the choicest of the flock and also pile up the fuel under it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.New Living Translation
Chapter 24
3Then give these rebels an illustration with this message from the Sovereign Lord: 'Put a pot on the fire, and pour in some water. 4Fill it with choice pieces of meat — the rump and the shoulder and all the most tender cuts. 5Use 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.English Standard Version
4put in it the pieces of meat, all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones.
5Take the choicest one of the flock; pile the logs under it; boil it well; seethe also its bones in it.
6“Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.
