Ezekiel 24:4-8
New American Standard Bible
King James Version
Chapter 24
4Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones. 5Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein. 6Wherefore 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. 7For 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; 8That 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.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 24
4Place the pieces of meat in it, every good piece -- thigh and shoulder. Fill it with choice bones. 5Take the choicest of the flock and also pile up the fuel under it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.
6" 'Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Woe to the city of bloodshed, the pot that has corrosion inside it, and its corrosion has not come out of it! Empty it piece by piece; lots should not be cast for its contents.
7For the blood she shed is still within her. She put it out on the bare rock; she didn't pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
8In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.
New Living Translation
Chapter 24
4Fill it with choice pieces of meat — the rump and the shoulder and all the most tender cuts. 5Use only the best sheep from the flock, and heap fuel on the fire beneath the pot. Bring the pot to a boil, and cook the bones along with the meat.
6'Now this is what the Sovereign Lord says: What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers! She is a cooking pot whose corruption can’t be cleaned out. Take the meat out in random order, for no piece is better than another.
7For the blood of her murders is splashed on the rocks. It isn’t even spilled on the ground, where the dust could cover it!
8So I will splash her blood on a rock for all to see, an expression of my anger and vengeance against her.
English Standard Version
Chapter 24
4put in it the pieces of meat, all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones. 5Take the choicest one of the flock; pile the logs under it; boil it well; seethe also its bones in it. 6“Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice. 7For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered.New International Version
Chapter 24
4Put into it the pieces of meat, all the choice pieces--the leg and the shoulder. Fill it with the best of these bones; 5take the pick of the flock. Pile wood beneath it for the bones; bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.
6'For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: ''Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now encrusted, whose deposit will not go away! Take the meat out piece by piece in whatever order it comes.
7'For the blood she shed is in her midst: She poured it on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground, where the dust would cover it.
8To stir up wrath and take revenge I put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.
New King James Version
Chapter 24
4Gather pieces of meat in it, Every good piece, The thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with choice cuts; 5Take the choice of the flock. Also pile fuel bones under it, Make it boil well, And let the cuts simmer in it.”
6‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the bloody city, To the pot whose scum is in it, And whose scum is not gone from it! Bring it out piece by piece, On which no lot has fallen.
7For her blood is in her midst; She set it on top of a rock; She did not pour it on the ground, To cover it with dust.
8That it may raise up fury and take vengeance, I have set her blood on top of a rock, That it may not be covered.”
