Ezekiel 24:3-13 — Legacy Standard Bible

³“Speak a ^aparable to the ^brebellious house, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “Put on the ^cpot, put it on and also pour water in it;

⁴¹^,^aPut in it the pieces,Every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder;Fill it with choice bones.⁵“Take the ^achoicest of the flock,And also pile ¹wood under ²the pot.Make it seethe vigorously.Also boil its bones in it.”

⁶‘Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh, “Woe to the ^acity of blood,To the pot in which there is rustAnd whose rust has not gone out of it!Take out of it piece after piece,¹Without making a choice.

⁷“For her blood is in her midst;She placed it on the bare rock;She did not ^apour it on the groundTo cover it with dust.⁸“That it may ^acause wrath to come up to take vengeance,I have put her blood on the bare rock,That it may not be covered.”

⁹‘Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh, “^aWoe to the city of blood!I also will make the pile great.

¹⁰“Heap on the wood, kindle the fire,Completely cook the fleshAnd mix in the spicesAnd let the bones be burned.¹¹“Then ^astand it empty on its coalsSo that it may be hotAnd its bronze may ¹glowAnd its ^buncleanness may be melted in it,Its rust brought to a complete end.¹²“She has ^awearied Me with toil,Yet her great rust has not gone from her;Let her rust be in the fire!¹³“In your uncleanness is lewdness.Because I would have cleansed you,Yet you are ^anot clean;You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness againUntil I have ¹^,^bcaused My wrath against you to be at rest.
