Ezekiel 24:7-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 24
7For her blood is in her midst; She placed it on the bare rock; She did not pour it on the ground To cover it with dust. 8So that it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, So that it will not be covered.' 9Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: 'Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the wood pile great. 10Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, Cook the meat thoroughly And mix in the spices, And let the bones be burned up. 11Then set it empty on its burning coals So that it may be hot And its bronze may glow, And its filthiness may be melted in it, Its rust eliminated. 12She has wearied Me with work, Yet her great rust has not gone from her; Let her rust be in the fire!King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
7For the blood she shed 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. 8In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, 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! I myself will make the pile of kindling large.
10Pile on the logs and kindle the fire! Cook the meat well and mix in the spices! Let the bones be burned!
11Set 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.
12It has frustrated every effort; its thick corrosion will not come off. Into the fire with its corrosion!
13Because 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.
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
7For the blood of her murders is splashed on the rocks. It isn’t even spilled on the ground, where the dust could cover it! 8So I will splash her blood on a rock for all to see, an expression of my anger and vengeance against her.
9'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers! I myself will pile up the fuel beneath her.
10Yes, heap on the wood! Let the fire roar to make the pot boil. Cook the meat with many spices, and afterward burn the bones.
11Now set the empty pot on the coals. Heat it red hot! Burn away the filth and corruption.
12But it’s hopeless; the corruption can’t be cleaned out. So throw it into the fire.
13Your impurity is your lewdness and the corruption of your idolatry. I tried to cleanse you, but you refused. So now you will remain in your filth until my fury against you has been satisfied.
English Standard Version
Chapter 24
7For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. 10Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up. 11Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed. 12She has wearied herself with toil; its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion! 13On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you.New International Version
Chapter 24
7" ‘For the blood she shed is in her midst: She poured it on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground, where the dust would cover it. 8To stir up wrath and take revenge I put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.
9" ‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: " ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the wood high.
10So heap on the wood and kindle the fire. Cook the meat well, mixing in the spices; and let the bones be charred.
11Then set the empty pot on the coals till it becomes hot and its copper glows, so that its impurities may be melted and its deposit burned away.
12It has frustrated all efforts; its heavy deposit has not been removed, not even by fire.
New King James Version
Chapter 24
7For her blood is in her midst; She set it on top of a rock; She did not pour it on the ground, To cover it with dust. 8That it may raise up fury and take vengeance, I have set her blood on top of a rock, That it may not be covered.”
9‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the bloody city! I too will make the pyre great.
10Heap on the wood, Kindle the fire; Cook the meat well, Mix in the spices, And let the cuts be burned up.
11“Then set the pot empty on the coals, That it may become hot and its bronze may burn, That its filthiness may be melted in it, That its scum may be consumed.
12She has grown weary with lies, And her great scum has not gone from her. Let her scum be in the fire!
13In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed, You will not be cleansed of your filthiness anymore, Till I have caused My fury to rest upon you.
