Ezekiel » Teaches by pantomime » Employs a boiling pot to symbolize the destruction of jerusalem
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, Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day. And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it: read more.
And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones. Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it. For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it. For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust; In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered. For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass. Put on much wood, heating up the fire, boiling the flesh well, and making the soup thick, and let the bones be burned. And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away. I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell. As for your unclean purpose: because I have been attempting to make you clean, but you have not been made clean from it, you will not be made clean till I have let loose my passion on you in full measure. I the Lord have said the word and I will do it; I will not go back or have mercy, and my purpose will not be changed; in the measure of your ways and of your evil doings you will be judged, says the Lord.
