Ezekiel 24:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Take the choicest one of the flock,
    pile the logs^[a] under it;
boil its pieces,^[b]
    seethe^[c] also its bones in it.

Woe to the bloody city,
    the pot whose rust is in it,
    whose rust has not gone out of it!
Empty it piece by piece,
    making no choice at all.^[d]
7 For the blood she shed is inside it;
    she placed it on a bare rock;
she did not pour it out on the ground,
    to cover it with earth.
