Ezekiel 24:3-10 English Revised Version (ERV)

3. And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD, Set on the caldron, set it on, and also pour water into it:

4. gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

5. Take the choice of the flock, and pile also the bones under it: make it boil well; yea, let the bones thereof be seethed in the midst of it.

6. Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; no lot is fallen upon it.

7. For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

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

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

10. Heap on the wood, make the fire hot, boil well the flesh, and make thick the broth, and let the bones be burned.
