Contextual Overview

1 The word of the Lord came to me. This was on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year of exile. He said, 2 "Son of man, write today's date and this note: ‘On this date the army of the king of Babylon surrounded Jerusalem.' 3 The people there refuse to obey me. I have a story with a message for them. Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: "‘Put the pot on the fire. Put on the pot and pour in the water. 4 Put in the pieces of meat. Put in every good piece, the thighs and the shoulders. Fill the pot with the best bones. 5 Use the best animals in the flock. Pile the wood under the pot, and boil the pieces of meat. Boil the soup until even the bones are cooked. 6 "‘So this is what the Lord God says: It will be bad for Jerusalem. It will be bad for that city of murderers. Jerusalem is like a pot with rust on it, and those spots of rust cannot be removed! That pot is not clean, and the rust cannot be removed, so the meat must be thrown out and not divided among the priests. 7 Jerusalem is like a pot with rust on it. This is because the blood from the murders is still there! She put the blood on the bare rock. She did not pour the blood on the ground and cover it with dirt. 8 I put her blood on the bare rock so that it would not be covered. I did this so that people would become angry and punish her for killing innocent people. 9 "‘So this is what the Lord God says: It will be bad for that city of murderers! I will pile up plenty of wood for the fire. 10 Put plenty of wood under the pot. Light the fire. Cook the meat until it is well done. Mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I the Lord have spoken it; it shall come to pass,.... What God has said shall be accomplished; his word shall not return void and empty, or be without effect:

and I will do it; being God omnipotent and unchangeable:

I will not go back; from his word, or the thing threatened and denounced; nothing should prevail upon him to act such a part:

neither will I spare; show any mercy or compassion, or abate of the punishment due:

neither will I repent; or change the course and method of Providence; but abide by the decree gone forth, and the sentence pronounced, and thoroughly execute it; a heap of words ascertaining the truth of what is predicted:

according to thy ways and according to thy doings shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God; that is, the Chaldeans shall judge and condemn thee, and execute my judgments on thee in a just and righteous manner, as thy evil ways and works deserve.
