Ezekiel 24:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Pile on the wood, light the fire, and cook the meat.
    Season it well and let the bones be charred.
¹¹ Let the pot stand empty on its coals
    until it’s so hot that its copper glows,
    its impurities melt in it,
    and its corrosion is consumed.
¹² It’s a worthless task.
    Even by fire its great corrosion isn’t removed.
