10 Put plenty of wood under the pot.
    Light the fire.
Cook the meat until it is well done.
    Mix in the spices,[a]
    and let the bones be burned up.
11 Then let the pot stand empty on the coals.
    Let it become so hot that its stains[b] begin to glow.
Those stains will be melted away.
    The rust will be destroyed.

12 “‘Jerusalem might work hard
    to scrub away her stains.
But that ‘rust’ will not go away!
    Only the fire of punishment will remove it.
