the wood and ignite the fire so that the meat may dissolve, A and the sauce diminish B
11 and stand over the coals, C so that her bronze may be scorched, be heated, D and melt

not come out of her. Her poison will be put to shame. 13 Since you defiled yourself, E
what if you are no longer cleansed until I fulfill my fury? 14 I the Lord have spoken. It
will arrive, and I will do it; I will not set aside, and I will not have mercy. I will judge
you according to your ways and according to your considerations," says the Lord.

Lord was directed at me, saying, 21 `Say to the house of Israel, "Thus says the Lord:
`Behold, I will profane my holy things, the boast of your strength, the desires of your
eyes, and the things about which your souls are concerned. Your sons and your
daughters, whom you abandoned, will fall by the sword. 22 You will act in the manner
that I have acted; you will not be comforted from their mouth, and you will not eat the
bread of men. 23 Your hair will be on your head and your sandals will be on your feet,
and you will neither mourn nor weep. You will languish in your wrongdoings, yet each
of you will comfort his brother. 24 Ezekiel will exist as a wonder for you; in agreement
with everything which I did, G you will do whenever these things come, and you will
