Ezekiel 24:3-14
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Speak a (A)parable to the (B)rebellious house, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh,
“Put on the (C)pot, put it on and also pour water in it;
4 [a](D)Put in it the pieces,
Every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder;
Fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the (E)choicest of the flock,
And also pile [b]wood under [c]the pot.
Make it seethe vigorously.
Also boil its bones in it.”
6 ‘Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh,
“Woe to the (F)city of blood,
To the pot in which there is rust
And whose rust has not gone out of it!
Take out of it piece after piece,
[d]Without making a choice.
7 For her blood is in her midst;
She placed it on the bare rock;
She did not (G)pour it on the ground
To cover it with dust.
8 That it may (H)cause wrath to come up to take vengeance,
I have put her blood on the bare rock,
That it may not be covered.”
9 Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh,
“(I)Woe to the city of blood!
I also will make the pile great.
10 Heap on the wood, kindle the fire,
Completely cook the flesh
And mix in the spices
And let the bones be burned.
11 Then (J)stand it empty on its coals
So that it may be hot
And its bronze may [e]glow
And its (K)uncleanness may be melted in it,
Its rust brought to a complete end.
12 She has (L)wearied Me with toil,
Yet her great rust has not gone from her;
Let her rust be in the fire!
13 In your uncleanness is lewdness.
Because I would have cleansed you,
Yet you are (M)not clean;
You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness again
Until I have [f](N)caused My wrath against you to be at rest.
14 I, Yahweh, have spoken; it is (O)coming, and I will act. I will not regret, and I will not (P)pity, and I will not [g]relent; (Q)according to your ways and according to your deeds [h]I will judge you,” declares Lord Yahweh.’”

Christian Standard Bible
3 Now speak a parable(A) to the rebellious house. Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says:
Put the pot(B) on the fire—
put it on,
and then pour water into it!
4 Place the pieces of meat in it,
every good piece—
thigh and shoulder.
Fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choicest of the flock
and also pile up the fuel[a] under it.
Bring it to a boil
and cook the bones in it.
6 “‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:
Woe to the city of bloodshed,(C)
the pot that has corrosion inside it,
and its corrosion has not come out of it!
Empty it piece by piece;
lots should not be cast for its contents.
7 For the blood she shed[b] is still within her.
She put it out on the bare rock;
she didn’t pour it on the ground
to cover it with dust.(D)
8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance,(E)
I have put her blood on the bare rock,
so that it would not be covered.
9 “‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:
Woe to the city of bloodshed!(F)
I myself will make the pile of kindling large.
10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire!
Cook the meat well
and mix in the spices![c][d]
Let the bones be burned!
11 Set the empty pot on its coals
so that it becomes hot and its copper glows.
Then its impurity will melt inside it;
its corrosion will be consumed.(G)
12 It has frustrated every effort;[e]
its thick corrosion will not come off.
Into the fire with its corrosion!
13 Because of the depravity of your uncleanness—
since I tried to purify you,
but you would not be purified from your uncleanness—
you will not be pure again
until I have satisfied my wrath on you.(H)
14 I, the Lord, have spoken.
It is coming, and I will do it!(I)
I will not refrain, I will not show pity,
and I will not relent.
I[f] will judge you
according to your ways and deeds.(J)
This is the declaration of the Lord God.’”
