Read in context

Ezekiel 24:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

14 I, 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 you according to your ways and deeds,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
