The King James Version Bible

Ezekiel 24:5-11

  1. Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.

  2. Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

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

  4. That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

  5. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.

  6. Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.

  7. Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
