⁴put in it the pieces of flesh,
    all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder;
    fill it with choice bones.
⁵Take the choicest one of the flock,
    pile the logs^[a] under it;
boil its pieces,^[b]
    seethe^[c] also its bones in it.

⁶“Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is in it, and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.^[d]
