rsv Ezekiel:24:1-14
rsv@Ezekiel:24:1 @ In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me:
rsv@Ezekiel:24:2 @ "Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:3 @ And utter an allegory to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Set on the pot, set it on, pour in water also;
rsv@Ezekiel:24:4 @ put in it the pieces of flesh, all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:5 @ Take the choicest one of the flock, pile the logs under it; boil its pieces, seethe also its bones in it.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:6 @ "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:7 @ For the blood she has shed is still in the midst of her; she put it on the bare rock, she did not pour it upon the ground to cover it with dust.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:8 @ To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:9 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:10 @ Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil well the flesh, and empty out the broth, and let the bones be burned up.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:11 @ Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its filthiness may be melted in it, its rust consumed.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:12 @ In vain I have wearied myself; its thick rust does not go out of it by fire.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:13 @ Its rust is your filthy lewdness. Because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your filthiness, you shall not be cleansed any more till I have satisfied my fury upon you.
rsv@Ezekiel:24:14 @ I the LORD have spoken; it shall come to pass, I will do it; I will not go back, I will not spare, I will not repent; according to your ways and your doings I will judge you, says the Lord GOD."
