2. Son of man, write thee the name of the day, of this selfsame day: on this selfsame day the king of Babylon draws near to Jerusalem.
3. And propose a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it.
4. Gather the pieces thereof into it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones:
5. take the choice of the flock; and also put a pile of wood under it, for the bones; make it boil well, and let the bones of it seethe therein.
6. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose rust is therein, and whose rust is not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it:
7. for her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the bare rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust.
8. That it might cause fury to come up to execute vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered.
9. Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.
