“Son of man, write down today’s date, for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 24:2 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 24.
1 In the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, write down today’s date, for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.
3 Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.
4 Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece—thigh and shoulder—fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
