And parable a parable to the house of rebellion, and say to them, So says the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot! Set it on, and also pour water in it.

Gather its pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with choice bones,

take the choice of the flock and also pile the bones under it. Boiling make it boil. Also let them seethe its bones in it.

So the Lord Jehovah says this: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and its rust has not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece. Let not a lot fall on it.

For her blood is in her midst, she set it on a shining rock. She did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.

In order to cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a shining rock, that it should not be covered.

So the Lord Jehovah says this: Woe to the bloody city! I also shall make great the pile,

and heap on the wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and mix in the spice, and let the bones be burned.

Then make it stand on its coals empty, so that it may be hot and its bronze may glow, and its defilement be melted in its midst, that its rust may be consumed.

She is wearied with toil, and the increase of her rust did not go out, her rust will be in the fire.

In your defilement is wickedness. Because I have cleansed you, yet you are not cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your defilement any more until I have caused My fury to cease on you.

I, Jehovah, have spoken; it shall come, and I will do it . I will not let go, and I will not spare, I will not pity. By your ways and by your doings they shall judge you, declares the Lord Jehovah.
