How horrible it will be for that city of murderers,
    for that tarnished pot.
        Its tarnish will not come off.
    Empty the meat out of it piece by piece
    without choosing any particular piece.
Blood is still in that city.
    The blood was poured on a bare rock.
        It wasn’t poured on the ground where dust would cover it.
In order to stir up my fury so that I would pay that city back,
    I put the blood of its victims on a bare rock.
        Now that blood can’t be covered.

“‘Woe(A) to the city of bloodshed,(B)

    whose deposit will not go away!
Take the meat out piece by piece
    in whatever order(C) it comes.(D)

“‘For the blood she shed is in her midst:
    She poured it on the bare rock;
she did not pour it on the ground,
    where the dust would cover it.(E)
To stir up wrath and take revenge
    I put her blood on the bare rock,
    so that it would not be covered.
