3 Show that obstinate household a parable, and speak unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Get thee a pot, set it on, and pour water into it:
4 put all the pieces together in it, all the good pieces: the loin and the shoulder, and fill it with the best bones.
5 Take one of the best sheep, and a heap of bones withal: let it boil well, and let the bones seethe well therein.
6 With that, said the LORD God on this manner: Woe be unto the bloody city of the pot, where upon the rustiness hangeth, and is not yet scoured away. Take out the pieces that are in it, one after another: there need no lots be cast therefore,
7 for the blood is yet in it. Upon a plain dry stone hath she poured it, and not upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust.
8 And therefore have I letten her pour her blood upon a plain dry stony rock, because it should not be hid, and that I might bring my wrathful indignation and vengeance upon her.
9 Wherefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: O woe be unto that bloodthirsty city, for whom I will prepare a heap of wood.
10 Bear thou the bones together, kindle thou the fire, seeth the flesh, let all be well sodden, that the bones may be sucked out.
11 Moreover, set the pot empty upon the coals, that it may be warm and the metal hot: that the filth and rustiness may be consumed.
12 But it will not go off, there is so much of it: the rustiness must be burnt out.
