Ezekiel 24:6-14

6"Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the 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.

7For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust.

8To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered.

9Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.

10Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.

11Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed.

12She has wearied herself with toil; its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion!

13On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you.

14I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God."
