• Ezekiel 24:5

  Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled within it.

• Ezekiel 24:7

  For her blood is in the middle of her; she set it on the bare rock; she didn’t pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.

• Ezekiel 24:8

• Ezekiel 24:18

  So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at evening my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

  that in that day he who escapes shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
