Ezekiel 24:3-14

The parable of a boiling pot, with the choice pieces boiled over the fire, and then left to burn, became a very striking representation of the fiery indignation of the Lord against Jerusalem. Her scum had arisen indeed, to an enormous height, for her blood was in the midst of her, as the Lord said. Reader! what painful representations are these! And how increasingly painful, when it be considered that this is spoken of the Lord's Jerusalem. Precious Lord Jesus! how was thy soul melted in the days of thy flesh, when beholding thy Jerusalem, and weeping over it! Luke 13:34.
