Ezekiel 24:7-13 ▼

7 For her blood has been in her midst, || She has set it on a clear place of a rock, || She has not poured it on the earth, || To cover it over with dust.

8 To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, || I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered.

9 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great.

10 Make the wood abundant, || Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, || And make the compound, || And let the bones be burned.

11 And cause it to stand empty on its coals, || So that its bronze is hot and burning, || Its uncleanness has been melted in its midst, || Its scum is consumed.

12 She has wearied herself [with] sorrows, || And the abundance of her scum does not go out of her, || Her scum [is] in the fire.

13 Wickedness [is] in your uncleanness, || Because I have cleansed you, || And you have not been cleansed, || You are not cleansed from your uncleanness again, || Until I have caused My fury to rest on you.
