Ezekiel 24:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 These words mean that Jerusalem is doomed! The city is filled with murderers and is like an old, rusty pot. The meat is taken out piece by piece, and no one cares what happens to it.[a] 7 The people of Jerusalem murdered innocent people in the city and didn't even try to cover up the blood that flowed out on the hard ground. 8 But I have seen that blood, and it cries out for me to take revenge.

Ezekiel 24:6-8
New International Version
6 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Woe(A) to the city of bloodshed,(B)
to the pot now encrusted,
whose deposit will not go away!
Take the meat out piece by piece
in whatever order(C) it comes.(D)
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.(E)
8 To stir up wrath and take revenge
I put her blood on the bare rock,
so that it would not be covered.
