Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
And they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron - manifold species of cruel oppressions. Compare Ezekiel 24:3 ("Set on a pot; set it on, and also pour water into it: gather the pieces thereof into it, with every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder, fill it with the choice bones"), containing, as to the coming punishment, the same figure as is here used of the sin: implying that the sin and punishment exactly correspond.
