The Boiling Pot And The Death Of Ezekiel's Wife

11 Set the empty pot on the coals, until it becomes hot and its copper glows, until its uncleanness melts within it and its rot is consumed. 12 It has tried my patience; yet its thick rot is not removed from it. Subject its rot to the fire! 13 You mix uncleanness with obscene conduct. I tried to cleanse you, but you are not clean. You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness until I have exhausted my anger on you.
