Ezekiel 24:7-13 ▼

7 For the blood she shed is still within her. She put it out on the bare rock; she didn’t pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.

8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.

9 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I Myself will make the pile of kindling large.

10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire! Cook the meat well and mix in the spices! Let the bones be burned!

11 Set the empty pot on its coals so that it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt inside it; its rust will be consumed.

12 It has frustrated every effort; its thick rust will not come off. Into the fire with its rust!

13 Because of the indecency of your uncleanness— since I tried to purify you, but you would not be purified from your uncleanness— you will not be pure again until I have satisfied My wrath on you.
