1 And the word of the Lord 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 this day, on which the king of Babylon was confirmed against Jerusalem today.
3 And you shall speak, through a proverb, a parable to the inciting house. And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Set out a cooking pot; set it out, I say, and put water into it.
4 Pile together within it every morsel, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder, the choice pieces and those full of bones.
5 Take the fattest from the flock, and arrange also a heap of bones under it. Its cooking has boiled over, and its bones in its midst have been thoroughly cooked.
