Ezekiel 24:12 - Compare All Versions

It has frustrated all efforts; its heavy deposit has not been removed, not even by fire.

She has wearied herself with toil; its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion!

But it’s hopeless; the corruption can’t be cleaned out. So throw it into the fire.

It has frustrated every effort;  its thick corrosion will not come off. Into the fire with its corrosion!

She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

She has grown weary with lies, And her great scum has not gone from her. Let her scum be in the fire!

“‘Therefore, this is what GOD, the Master, says: “‘Doom to the city of murder! I, too, will pile on the wood. Stack the wood high, light the match, Cook the meat, spice it well, pour out the broth, and then burn the bones. Then I’ll set the empty pot on the coals and heat it red-hot so the bronze glows, So the germs are killed and the corruption is burned off. But it’s hopeless. It’s too far gone. The filth is too thick.

“She has wearied Me with work, Yet her great rust has not gone from her; Let her rust be in the fire!

“She has wearied Me with toil, Yet her great rust has not left her; Her thick rust and filth will not be burned away by fire [no matter how hot the flame].

It has tried my patience; yet its thick rot is not removed from it. Subject its rot to the fire!
