Ezekiel 24:5-7
American Standard Version
5 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under [a]the caldron; make it boil well; yea, let the bones thereof be boiled in the midst of it.
6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose [b]rust is therein, and whose [c]rust is not gone out of it! take out of it piece after 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.
