- Ezekiel 24:6-86 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. 7 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; 8 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.6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents. 7 For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
