Bible in Basic English
"For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it."
— Ezekiel 24:6, Bible in Basic English
“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.”
And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:
And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.
Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.
For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.
For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;
In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.
For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass.
