New Testament

Ezekiel 24:7-13 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. For her blood was in the midst of her; she put it on a bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.

8. To stir up rage, to avenge myself through vengeance, I placed its blood on the barrenness of a rock, so that it may not be covered.”

9. Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Woe to the city of bloodguilt! I, even I, will make the pile of wood great!

10. Pile up the logs; kindle the fire; finish cooking the meat, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned.

11. And make it stand empty upon its burning coals so that it may become hot, and its copper may become molten and be melted in the midst of it, so that its uncleanness and its rust be consumed.

12. Through effort she has caused weariness; its thick rust went not out of it. Its rust! Into the fire with its rust!

13. In your uncleanness is obscene conduct, because I cleansed you, but you were not clean from your uncleanness; you will not be clean again until I fully vent my rage on you.
