Ezekiel 24

⁴ Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece—thigh and shoulder—fill it with choice bones.

⁵ Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’

⁶ Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
