The rusty cooking pot

Eze 24:1–14

24Then Yahweh gave me another message on the 15th of January of the ninth year since King Yoyakin (Jehoiachin) had been taken captive. 2“Humanity’s child, write down the day and month for yourself, because on this exact day, the Babylonian king started his siege of Yerushalem.[ref] 3So tell this parable to the rebellious Israeli people and explain that it comes from the master Yahweh:

Pour water into the cooking pot and place it on the fire.

4Put in the leg and shoulder of a good sheep

then fill it up with the best bones.

5Yes, take the best one from the flock

and pile up the fuel underneath it—

keeping it boiling to make sure that the bones in it cook well.

6Now the master Yahweh says this: The city of blood won’t end wellit’s like a cooking pot that has rust in it and that rust won’t come out of it. Take piece after piece out of it, but don’t be choosy about which pieces 7because the blood she shed is all the way through the middle of her. She displayed it on a flat rock to be easily seen, rather than pouring it out on the ground where it could be covered over with dust, 8so it makes me angry enough to exact vengeance: I placed her blood on the smooth rock so it couldn’t be covered.

9Therefore, the master Yahweh says this: The city of blood won’t end well. I will also enlarge the pile of firewood to put underneath it. 10Stack up the wood and kindle the fire. Cook the meat well and mix in the spices and let the bones be charred. 11Then put the empty pot onto the hot coals in order to heat and scorch its bronze, so the impurities in it will be melted—its corrosion eaten away.’ 12That was a lot of work, yet the corrosion wasn’t removed from her by the fire. 13Your shameful behaviour is in your uncleanness. Because I tried to cleanse you but you wouldn’t accept it, then you won’t be purified anymore until I have satisfied my fury upon you. 14I, Yahweh, have declared it, and I will do it. I won’t relent nor will I rest from it. You’ll be judged by your own ways and your own behaviour. That is the master Yahweh’s declaration.”
