Ezekiel 24:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ “‘So this is what the Lord God says:
It will be bad for Jerusalem.
    It will be bad for that city of murderers.
Jerusalem is like a pot with rust on it,
    and those spots of rust cannot be removed!
That pot is not clean, and the rust cannot be removed,
    so the meat must be thrown out and not divided among the priests.
⁷ Jerusalem is like a pot with rust on it.
    This is because the blood from the murders is still there!
She put the blood on the bare rock.
    She did not pour the blood on the ground and cover it with dirt.^[a]
8 I put her blood on the bare rock
    so that it would not be covered.
I did this so that people would become angry
    and punish her for killing innocent people.
