rsv Ezekiel:24:3-11 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ;
*
put in it the pieces of flesh ,
all the good pieces ,
the thigh and the shoulder ;
fill it with choice bones .
*
Take the choicest one of the flock ,
pile the logs under it ;
boil its pieces ,
seethe also its bones in it .
* "
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD :
Woe to the bloody city !
I also will make the pile great .
*
Heap on the logs ,
kindle the fire ,
boil well the flesh ,
and empty out the broth ,
and let the bones be burned up .
*
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 .
