3 and proverbialize a proverb to the rebellious house: and say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Set a caldron; set, and also pour water into it:
4 gather the members into it - every good member - the flank and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones:
5 take the choice of the flock and also whirl the bones under it; and in boiling, boil it well; and seethe the bones midst it.
6 So, thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Woe to the city of blood - to the caldron whose scum is therein, and whose scum comes not out of it: bring it out member by member; and that no pebble fall thereon.
7 For her blood is in her midst; she sets it on the clearing of a rock; she pours it not on the earth, to cover it with dust;
8 - to ascend fury - to avenge avengement; I give her blood on the clearing of a rock - not covered.
9 So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Woe to the city of blood! I - I greaten the pile for fire.
10 Abound the timber! Inflame the fire! Consume the flesh! And in spicing, spice! And scorch the bones:
11 and stand it empty on the coals, that heat and scorch the copper thereof so that the foulness thereof melts in the midst - to consume the scum thereof.
12 She wearies herself with mischiefs and her great scum goes not from her: her scum is in the fire.
13 In your foulness is intrigue: because I purify you; and you purify not: you purify not from your foulness any more until I rest my fury on you.
14 I Yah Veh have worded: so be it; and I work it: I neither release nor spare nor sigh: according to your ways and according to your exploits they judge you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.
