Ezekiel 24:5
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
In context
3 Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.
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.
7 For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
