Ezekiel 24:3-13

3 And ^autter a parable to ^bthe rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God:

“Set on ^cthe pot, set it on;
pour in water also;
4 put in it the pieces of meat,
all the good pieces, ^dthe thigh and the shoulder;
fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choicest one of the flock;
pile the logs ^{▼▼Compare verse 10; Hebrew the bones} under it;
boil it well;
seethe also its bones in it.
6 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^fWoe to the bloody city, to ^gthe pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice. ^{▼▼Hebrew no lot has fallen upon it} 7 For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on ⁱthe bare rock; ^jshe did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! ^kI also will make the pile great. 10 Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices, ^{▼▼Or empty out the broth} and let the bones be burned up. 11 Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, ^mthat its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. 12 ⁿShe has wearied herself with toil; ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain} its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13 On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, ^pyou shall not be cleansed anymore till ^qI have satisfied my fury upon you.
