Ezekiel 24:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ Stand it empty upon the coals,
    so that it may become hot, its copper glow,
    its filth melt in it, its rust be consumed.
¹² In vain I have wearied myself;^[a]
    its thick rust does not depart.
    To the fire with its rust!^[b]
13 Yet, when I cleansed you in your filthy lewdness,
    you did not become clean from your filth;
you shall not again be cleansed
    until I have satisfied my fury upon you.
