* And the word of the Lord came unto me in the ninth year , in the tenth month , on the tenth day of the month , saying , * Son of man , write thee down the name of this day , of this same day : the king of Babylon hath advanced against Jerusalem on this same day . * And speak concerning the rebellious family a parable , and say unto them , Thus hath said the Lord Eternal , Set on the pot , set it on , and also pour water into it ; * Gather the proper pieces into it , every good piece , the thigh , and the shoulder ; fill it up with the choice bones . * Take the choice of the flock , and make also a fire for the bones under it : cause it to seethe well , that even the bones therein may be fully boiled through . * Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal , Woe to the city of blood –guiltiness , to the pot the scum of which is yet in it , and the scum of which is not gone out of it ! one of its pieces after the other take out from it : no lot is cast for it . * For her blood was in the midst of her ; on the naked rock did she place it : she poured it not upon the ground , to cover it over with dust . * To cause my fury to arise to take vengeance , do I place her blood upon the naked rock , so that it shall not be covered up . * Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal , Woe to the city of blood –guiltiness ! I also will myself build up a large burning pile , * Heaping on the wood , kindling the fire , thoroughly boiling the flesh , and stirring the mixture , that the bones may be scorched . * Then will I set it empty upon its coals , in order that it may become hot , and its copper be made to glow , and its uncleanness may be molten in it , that its scum may be consumed . * With fraud hath she wearied ; therefore shall not go forth from her the greatness of her scum : through fire shall her scum . * In thy uncleanness is incest ; because I endeavored to cleanse thee , and thou wouldst not be clean , thou shalt not be cleansed from thy uncleanness any more , until I have assuaged my fury on thee . * I the Lord have spoken it ; it cometh to pass , and I will do it ; I will not recall my decree , and I will not have pity , nor will I repent : according to thy ways , and according to thy doings , shall men judge thee , saith the Lord Eternal .
