Ezekiel 24:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ Make the pot stand empty on the coals
    until its bronze glows red,^[a]
its rust can be scoured off,^[b]
    and its dross completely removed.
¹² The pot^[c] wearies me,^[d]
    but its thick^[e] rust won’t come off,
        even with fire.
¹³ There is wickedness in your obscene conduct.
    Even though I’ve cleansed you,
        your uncleanness cannot be washed away.
You cannot be cleansed again
    until my rage against you has subsided.’
