2 »Son of man, write the name of the day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.
3 »Speak a parable to the rebellious house. Say to them: The Lord Jehovah says, »Put on the cooking pot, put it on and also pour water in it.
4 »Put in it the pieces, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder. Fill it with choice bones.
5 »Take the choicest of the flock. Also pile wood under the pot. Make it boil vigorously. Also boil its bones in it.«’«
6 »Therefore, the Lord Jehovah says: ‘Woe to the bloody city, To the cooking pot in which there is rust and whose rust has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making a choice.
7 »»Her blood is in her midst. She placed it on the bare rock. She did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
8 ‘»That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, that it may not be covered.’
9 »The Lord Jehovah says: ‘Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
10 ‘»Heap on the wood and kindle the fire. Boil the flesh well and mix in the spices and let the bones be burned.
11 ‘»Then set it empty on its coals so that it may be hot and its copper may glow and its filthiness may be melted in it. Let its rust be consumed.
12 ‘»She has made me tire with toil, yet her great rust has not gone from her. Let her rust be in the fire!’
13 ‘»In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I would have cleansed you, yet you are not clean. You will not be cleansed from your filthiness again until I have spent my anger on you.
14 ‘»I, Jehovah, have spoken. It is coming and I will act. I will not relent, and I will not pity and I will not be sorry! I will judge you according to your ways and according to your deeds.’ This is a declaration of the Lord Jehovah.«
