3 Recite a proverb to this rebellious house and say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says:“‘Set on the pot, set it on, pour water in it too;
4 add the pieces of meat to it, every good piece,the thigh and the shoulder;fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choice bone of the flock,heap up bones under it;boil rapidly,and boil its bones in it.
6 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says:Woe to the city of bloodshed,the pot whose rot is in it,whose rot has not been removed from it!Empty it piece by piece.No lot has fallen on it.
7 For her blood was in it;she poured it on an exposed rock;she did not pour it on the ground to cover it up with dust.
8 To arouse anger, to take vengeance,I have placed her blood on an exposed rock so that it cannot be covered up.
9 “‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Woe to the city of bloodshed!I will also make the pile high.
