Ezekiel 24:10-14

10So heap on the wood and kindle the fire. Cook the meat well, mixing in the spices; and let the bones be charred.

11Then set the empty pot on the coals till it becomes hot and its copper glows, so that its impurities may be melted and its deposit burned away.

12It has frustrated all efforts; its heavy deposit has not been removed, not even by fire.

13“ ‘Now your impurity is lewdness. Because I tried to cleanse you but you would not be cleansed from your impurity, you will not be clean again until my wrath against you has subsided.

14“ ‘I the LORD have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will not have pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the Sovereign LORD .’ ”
