New Testament

Ezekiel 24:7-16 Modern English Version (MEV)

7. For her blood is in her midst;she set it on the bare rock;she did not pour it on the groundto cover it with dust.

8. That it may cause fury to come up to take vengeance,I have set her blood on the bare rock,that it may not be covered.

9. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city!I will also make the pile great.

10. Heap on wood,kindle the fire;boil the flesh,and spice it well,and let the bones be burned.

11. Then set it empty on its coals,so that it may be hot and its bronze may glow,and its filthiness may be melted in it,and its rust may be consumed.

12. She has wearied Me with toil,and her great rust has not gone from her.Let her rust be in the fire.

13. In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I would have purged you, yet you are not purged, you shall not be purged from your filthiness anymore until I have caused My fury to rest on you.

14. I the Lord have spoken. It shall come to pass and I will act. I will not go back, nor will I spare, nor will I be sorry. According to your ways and according to your deeds, I shall judge you, says the Lord God.

15. Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

16. Son of man, I am about to take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke. Yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down.
