Contextual Overview
1And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying, 2"Son of man, write! Write the name of the day for yourself, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day. 3And use an allegory toward the house of rebellion, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour water into it, 4To gather its pieces to it, every good piece, || Thigh and shoulder, to fill in the choice of the bones.5To take the choice of the flock, || And also to pile the bones under it, || Boil it thoroughly, indeed, cook its bones in its midst. 6Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, || A pot whose scum [is] in it, || And its scum has not come out of it, || By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, a lot has not fallen on it. 7For her blood has been in her midst, || She has set it on a clear place of a rock, || She has not poured it on the earth, || To cover it over with dust. 8To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, || I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered. 9Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great. 10Make the wood abundant, || Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, || And make the compound, || And let the bones be burned.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Gather the pieces thereof into it,.... fire being made, and the pot set on, and water poured into it, the next thing is, to put in the pieces that are to be boiled; and these are to be gathered; meaning the people of the land, that were to be gathered from the several parts of it, for their security, as they thought; but the event proved it was for their ruin: even
every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; the princes and gentry, the great and the mighty, the rich and wealthy of the people; who, upon the invasion, got together in Jerusalem, to secure their persons and substance:
fill it with the choice bones; or with those pieces that have the choice bones, that are full of marrow; the strongest among the people; the soldiers, or such as were fit for war; the best of their militia, brought hither to defend the city; but, in fact, to be slain, as they were. The Targum is,
"gather the princes thereof into the midst of her, every terrible man and warrior; fill her with the army of the people.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The pieces thereof - Or, that belong to it; i. e., the pieces which are designed for the caldron, and belong to it as the inhabitants belong to the city. The choice pieces are the choice members of the community Ezekiel 11:3.
