Context of Ezekiel 24:12
10Pile on the logs and kindle the fire! Cook the meat well and mix in the spices! Let the bones be burned! 11Set the empty pot on its coals so that it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt inside it; its corrosion will be consumed. It has frustrated every effort; its thick corrosion will not come off. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13Because of the depravity of your uncleanness — since I tried to purify you, but you would not be purified from your uncleanness — you will not be pure again until I have satisfied my wrath on you. 14I, the Lord, have spoken. It is coming, and I will do it! I will not refrain, I will not show pity, and I will not relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds. This is the declaration of the Lord God.’”
