¹⁹ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

⁴⁰ Just as the weeds ^(A)are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at ^(B)the end of the age. ^41 (C)The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all ^(D)causes of sin and ^(E)all law-breakers, ^42 (F)and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place ^(G)there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, ^(A)“Gather the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

³ And ^(A)utter a parable to ^(B)the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God:

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

⁷ Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^(A)Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, ^(B)they are the meat, and ^(C)this city is the cauldron, but you shall be brought out of the midst of it.
