3 Now speak a parable to the rebellious house. Tell them: This is what the Lord God says:Put the pot on the fire —put it on,and then pour water into it!
4 Place the pieces of meat in it,every good piece —thigh and shoulder.Fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choicest of the flockand also pile up the fuel under it.Bring it to a boiland cook the bones in it.”
6 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:Woe to the city of bloodshed, the pot that has rust inside it,and whose rust will not come off!Empty it piece by piece;lots should not be cast for its contents.
7 For the blood she shed is still within her.She put it out on the bare rock;she didn’t pour it on the groundto cover it with dust.
8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock,so that it would not be covered.
9 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:Woe to the city of bloodshed! I Myself will make the pile of kindling large.
