Ezekiel 24:3-13
New American Standard Bible
3 Present a (A)parable to the (B)rebellious house and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord [a]God says:
“Put on the (C)pot, put it on and also pour water into it;
4 [b](D)Put in it the pieces of meat,
Every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder;
Fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the (E)choicest of the flock,
And also stack [c]wood under [d]the pot.
Make it boil vigorously.
Also boil its bones in it.”
6 ‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:
“Woe to the (F)bloody city,
To the pot in which there is rust
And whose rust has not gone out of it!
Take out of it piece after piece,
[e]Without making a choice.
7 For her blood is in her midst;
She placed it on the bare rock;
She did not (G)pour it on the ground
To cover it with dust.
8 So that it may (H)cause wrath to come up to take vengeance,
I have put her blood on the bare rock,
So that it will not be covered.”
9 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:
“(I)Woe to the bloody city!
I also will make the wood pile great.
10 Heap on the wood, kindle the fire,
[f]Cook the meat thoroughly
And mix in the spices,
And let the bones be burned up.
11 Then (J)set it empty on its burning coals
So that it may be hot
And its bronze may [g]glow,
And its (K)filthiness may be melted in it,
Its rust eliminated.
12 She has (L)wearied Me with work,
Yet her great rust has not gone from her;
Let her rust be in the fire!
13 In your filthiness is outrageous sin.
Because I would have cleansed you,
Yet you are (M)not clean,
You will not be cleansed from your filthiness again
Until I have [h](N)expended My wrath on you.

New International Version
3 Tell this rebellious people(A) a parable(B) and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Put on the cooking pot;(C) put it on
and pour water into it.
4 Put into it the pieces of meat,
all the choice pieces—the leg and the shoulder.
Fill it with the best of these bones;(D)
5 take the pick of the flock.(E)
Pile wood beneath it for the bones;
bring it to a boil
and cook the bones in it.(F)
6 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Woe(G) to the city of bloodshed,(H)
to the pot now encrusted,
whose deposit will not go away!
Take the meat out piece by piece
in whatever order(I) it comes.(J)
7 “‘For the blood she shed is in her midst:
She poured it on the bare rock;
she did not pour it on the ground,
where the dust would cover it.(K)
8 To stir up wrath and take revenge
I put her blood on the bare rock,
so that it would not be covered.
9 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Woe to the city of bloodshed!
I, too, will pile the wood high.
10 So heap on the wood
and kindle the fire.
Cook the meat well,
mixing in the spices;
and let the bones be charred.
11 Then set the empty pot on the coals
till it becomes hot and its copper glows,
so that its impurities may be melted
and its deposit burned away.(L)
12 It has frustrated all efforts;
its heavy deposit has not been removed,
not even by fire.
13 “‘Now your impurity is lewdness. Because I tried to cleanse you but you would not be cleansed(M) from your impurity, you will not be clean again until my wrath against you has subsided.(N)

2 You who hate good and love evil,
Who (A)tear off their skin from them
And their flesh from their bones,
3 Who (B)eat the flesh of my people,
Strip off their skin from them,
Smash their bones,
And (C)chop them up as for the pot,
And as meat in a cauldron!”
