Ezekiel 24:6-21

6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says:

‘Woe to the city of bloodshed,to the pot now rusted,whose rust will not come off!Empty it piece by piece;cast no lots for its contents.17For the blood she shed is still within her;she poured it out on the bare rock;she did not pour it on the groundto cover it with dust.8In order to stir up wrathand take vengeance,I have placed her blood on the bare rock,so that it would not be covered.’

9Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says:

‘Woe to the city of bloodshed!I, too, will pile the kindling high.10Pile on the logs and kindle the fire;cook the meat welland mix in the spices;let the bones be burned.11Set the empty pot on its coalsuntil it becomes hot and its copper glows.Then its impurity will melt within;its rust will be consumed.12It has frustrated every effort;its thick rust has not been removed,even by the fire.13Because of the indecency of your uncleannessI tried to cleanse you,but you would not be purifiedfrom your filthiness.You will not be pure againuntil My wrath against you has subsided.14I, the LORD, have spoken;the time is coming, and I will act.I will not refrain or show pity,nor will I relent.I will judge youaccording to your ways and deeds,’declares the Lord GOD.”

15Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 16“Son of man, behold, I am about to take away the desire of your eyes with a fatal blow. But you must not mourn or weep or let your tears flow. 17Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.”

18So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And the next morning I did as I had been commanded.

19Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things you are doing mean to us?”

20So I answered them, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying: 21Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’
