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.
10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire!Cook the meat welland mix in the spices! Let the bones be burned!
11 Set the empty pot on its coalsso that it becomes hot and its copper glows.Then its impurity will melt inside it;its rust will be consumed.
