Contextual Overview
1 The Word of the Lord came to me on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year, saying, 2 "Son of man, put down in writing this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has shut Jerusalem in with his army this very day. 3 And tell a picture-story to these sinful people of Israel. Tell them, ‘The Lord God says, "Put the pot on the fire. Put it on, and pour water in it. 4 Put all the good pieces of meat in it, the thigh, the shoulder. And fill it with the best bones. 5 Take the best of the flock. Put more and more wood under the pot to make it boil, and boil the bones in it." 6 'For the Lord God says, "It is bad for the city of blood, for the rusted pot whose rust has not been cleaned out of it! Take the pieces of meat out of it without choosing them. 7 For the blood of the city has been poured on the rock. It was not poured on the ground where the dust would cover it. 8 I have put the blood on the rock where it could not be covered, so that it would cause anger and punishment." 9 So the Lord God says, "It is bad for the city of blood! I will put much wood on the fire. 10 Put on more and more wood, and make the fire burn. Boil the meat well. Mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.

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.
