Ezekiel 24:12 in 10 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

12It has frustrated all efforts;

its heavy deposit has not been removed,

not even by fire.

12“She has wearied Me with work,

Yet her great rust has not gone from her;

Let her rust be in the fire!

12“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].

12It has frustrated every effort;

its thick rust has not been removed,

even by the fire.

12She hath wearied herself with toil; yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her; her rust goeth not forth by fire.

12She hath wearied her selfe with lyes, and her great skomme went not out of her: therefore her skomme shall be consumed with fire.

12She is weary with toil;

yet her great rust,

rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.

12But it can’t be cleaned up.

Its thick scum has not been removed.

Even fire can’t burn it off.

12Yes, I have tried to make it clean.

But the disgusting dirt is still there.

So throw the pot and all its dirt on the fire!

12She has wearied herself [with] sorrows, || And the abundance of her scum does not go out of her, || Her scum [is] in the fire.
