Ezekiel 24:3–13

³And ^aautter a parable unto ^bthe rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; ^cSet on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it: ⁴gather ^dthe pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and ^ethe shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. ⁵Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

⁶Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to ^fthe bloody city, to the pot whose ^gscum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; ^hlet no lot fall upon it. ⁷For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon ⁱthe top of a rock; she ^kpoured it not upon the ground, ^klto cover it with dust; ⁸that it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon ⁱthe top of a rock, that it should not be covered. ⁹Therefore thus saith the Lord God; ^fWoe to the bloody city! I will even make ^mthe pile for fire great. ¹⁰Heap on wood, ⁿkindle the fire, consume the flesh, and ^ospice it well, and let the bones be burnt. ¹¹Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that ^pthe brass of it may be hot, and ^qmay burn, and that ^rthe filthiness of it may be molten in it, that ^gthe scum of it may be consumed. ¹²She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: ^gher scum shall be in the fire. ¹³In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not ^sbe purged from thy filthiness ^tany more, till ^uI have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
