Ezekiel » Teaches by pantomime » Employs a boiling pot to symbolize the destruction of jerusalem
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, the word of LORD came to me, saying, Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this selfsame day; the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this selfsame day. And utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, Thus says lord LORD: Set on the caldron. Set it on, and also pour water into it. read more.
Gather the pieces of it into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile [of wood] for the bones under [the caldron]. Make it boil well, yea, let the bones of it be boiled in the midst of it. Therefore thus says lord LORD: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece. No lot has fallen upon it. For her blood is in the midst of her. She set it upon the bare rock. She did not pour it upon the ground to cover it with dust. That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered. Therefore thus says lord LORD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. Heap on the wood; make the fire hot. Boil the flesh well, and make the broth thick. And let the bones be burned. Then set it empty upon the coals of it, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed. She has wearied [herself] with toil, yet her great scum does not go forth out of her, her scum by fire. In thy filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed thee and thou were not cleansed, thou shall not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest. I, LORD, have spoken it. It shall come to pass, and I will do it. I will not go back. I will neither spare, nor will I repent. According to thy ways, and according to thy doings, they shall judge thee, says lord LORD.
