On this day, Ezekiel tells a +parable to the exiles that speaks of a cooking pot. A festive meal is prepared: +good pieces of meat boiled in water, the choicest member of the flock. Wood is +piled up in a fire beneath the pot, and everything is set to boil. + +But, woe! The pot is rusty and contaminates the food. Piece after piece is +taken out, but the rust remains. This corrosion is identified as the blood shed +by the violence in Jerusalem. Like the blood of Abel, it lies on bare rock and +cries out for justice. It wasn't even covered up, but just left open to the +air. + +Because of this the Lord is going to empty out the pot and heat it hotter and +hotter. While the uncleanness melts, the corrosion is not burned away. So the +Lord continues to pour wrath ever hotter into the fire, until His fury is +satisifed. + +* * * + +You punish sin as it deserves and bring justice to the oppressed.
