The Hebrew word for "rebellious" is "meri," which conveys a sense of defiance and obstinacy. Historically, Israel's rebellion is well-documented, with the people often falling into idolatry and disobedience despite the prophets' warnings. This phrase sets the tone for the message, highlighting the need for correction and the seriousness of their spiritual state. a parable and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says Put on the pot put it on and pour in the water Set on a pot.--Rather, the cauldron, the word being the same as in Ezekiel 11:3, and preceded by the definite article referring to that passage. Urgency is indicated by the repetition of the command "set on." The people in Ezekiel 11:3 had called their city the cauldron; so let it be, the Divine word now says, and set that city upon the fire of the armies of my judgment, and gather into it for destruction the people who have boasted of it as their security. Verses 3, 4. - Set on a pot, etc. The words contain an obvious reference to the imagery of Ezekiel 11:3-7. The people had used that imagery either in the spirit of a false security or in the recklessness of despair. It is now the prophet's work to remind them that the interpretation which he gave to their own comparison had proved to be the true one. The cauldron is the city, the fire is the invading army, the metal of the cauldron does not protect them. The pieces, the choice bones, were the princes and chief men of the people.Parallel Commentaries ...
