^(B)“Put on a pot, set it on,
And also pour water into it.
⁴ Gather pieces of meat in it,
Every good piece,
The thigh and the shoulder.
Fill it with choice ^[a]cuts;
⁵ Take the choice of the flock.
Also pile fuel bones under it,
Make it boil well,
And let the cuts simmer in it.”

“Woe to ^(C)the bloody city,
To the pot whose scum is in it,
And whose scum is not gone from it!
Bring it out piece by piece,
On which no ^(D)lot has fallen.
⁷ For her blood is in her midst;
She set it on top of a rock;
^(E)She did not pour it on the ground,
To cover it with dust.
⁸ That it may raise up fury and take vengeance,
^(F)I have set her blood on top of a rock,
That it may not be covered.”

^(G)“Woe to the bloody city!
I too will make the pyre great.
¹⁰ Heap on the wood,
Kindle the fire;
Cook the meat well,
Mix in the spices,
And let the ^[b]cuts be burned up.

¹¹ “Then set the pot empty on the coals,
That it may become hot and its bronze may burn,
That ^(H)its filthiness may be melted in it,
That its scum may be consumed.
¹² She has ^[c]grown weary with ^[d]lies,
And her great scum has not gone from her.
Let her scum be in the fire!
¹³ In your ^(I)filthiness is lewdness.
Because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed,
You will ^(J)not be cleansed of your filthiness anymore,
^(K)Till I have caused My fury to rest upon you.
^14 (L)I, the Lord, have spoken it;
^(M)It shall come to pass, and I will do it;
I will not hold back,
^(N)Nor will I spare,
Nor will I relent;
According to your ways
And according to your deeds
^[e]They will judge you,”
Says the Lord God.’ ”
