3And speak a proverb to the rebellious house, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: Set on the pot; set it on, and also pour water into it.’

4Gather its pieces into it, every good piece—the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones.

5Take the choicest of the flock, and also pile the bones under it; bring it to a boil, boil it well, and let its bones be cooked in it.
