“Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.”
Ezekiel 24:6 (BSB)
Context Reading
4Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece — thigh and shoulder — fill it with choice bones. 5Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’ 6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents. 7For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust. 8In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
