Context of Ezekiel 24:14
12“ ‘I have worn myself out trying to clean this pot. Even the fire can’t take away its thick tarnish. 13I tried to clean you of your filthy lust, but you wouldn’t clean yourself from your filth. You will never be clean until I unleash my fury on you. I, the Lord, have spoken. It will happen, and I will do it. I will not ignore you, pity you, or change my plans. I will punish you because of the way you lived and because of everything you have done,’ ” declares the Almighty Lord. 15Then the Lord spoke his word to me. He said, 16“Son of man, with one blow I’m going to take away from you the person you love the most. But you must not mourn, cry, or let tears run down your face.
