Ezekiel 24:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible
9 Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the kindling high.
10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire; cook the meat well and mix in the spices; let the bones be burned.
11 Set the empty pot on its coals until it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt within; its rust will be consumed.
12 It has frustrated every effort; its thick rust has not been removed, even by the fire.
13 Because of the indecency of your uncleanness I tried to cleanse you, but you would not be purified from your filthiness. You will not be pure again until My wrath against you has subsided.
