9. Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Woe to the bloody city! I will also make a great fire,
10. multiplying the wood, kindling the fire, to consume the flesh and to make the broth, and the bones shall be burned;
11. setting afterward the empty pot upon the coals thereof that it may become red hot and may burn and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
12. In fraud she has become weary, and her great scum did not go forth out of her; her scum shall be in the fire.
13. In thy perverse filthiness thou shalt die because I have cleansed thee, and thou didst not cleanse thyself from thy uncleanness; thou shalt never cleanse thyself again, until I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
14. I, the Lord, have spoken: I came and worked. I will not turn back, neither will I have mercy, neither will I repent; according to thy ways and according to thy doings, they shall judge thee, said the Lord GOD.
15. And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
16. Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes by death; yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
17. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind thy turban upon thy head, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet and do not cover thy lips and do not eat the bread of comfort.
