Ezekiel 24:9-11

New International Reader's Version

“How terrible it will be for this city!
    It has so many murderers in it.
    I too will pile the wood high.
¹⁰ So pile on the wood.
    Light the fire.
Cook the meat well.
    Mix in the spices.
    Let the bones be blackened.
¹¹ Then set the empty pot on the coals.
    Let it get hot. Let its copper glow.
Then what is not pure in it will melt.
    Its scum will be burned away.
