Ezekiel 24:7-13 ▼

7 Her blood was in it. She poured it out onto bare rock. She didn't pour it out on the ground, intending to cover it with dirt.

8 In order to stir up my anger and in order to take vengeance, I set the blood on a bare rock so that it cannot be covered.'

9 |Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: 'How terrible it is for that blood-filled city— I'm also going to add to my pile of kindling.

10 Pile up the wood! Make the fire burn hot. Boil the meat! Mix the seasonings. Burn those bones to a crisp!

11 Make the pot stand empty on the coals until its bronze glows red, its rust can be scoured off, and its dross completely removed.

12 The pot wearies me, but its thick rust won't come off, even with fire.

13 There is wickedness in your obscene conduct. Even though I've cleansed you, you uncleanness cannot be washed away. You cannot be cleansed again until my rage against you has subsided.'
