*
Again ,
in the ninth year ,
in the tenth month ,
on the tenth day of the month ,
the word of the LORD came to me ,
saying ,
* "
Son of man ,
write down the name of the day ,
this very day--the king of Babylon started his siege against Jerusalem this very day .
*
And utter a parable to the rebellious house ,
and say to them , "
Thus says the Lord GOD : "
Put on a pot ,
set it on ,
And also pour water into it .
*
Gather pieces of meat in it ,
Every good piece ,
The thigh and the shoulder .
Fill it with choice cuts ;
*
Take the choice of the flock .
Also pile fuel bones under it ,
Make it boil well ,
And let the cuts simmer in it ."
* "
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD : "
Woe to the bloody city ,
To the pot whose scum is in it ,
And whose scum is not gone from it !
Bring it out piece by piece ,
On which no lot has fallen .
*
For her blood is in her midst ;
She set it on top of a rock ;
She did not pour it on the ground ,
To cover it with dust .
*
That it may raise up fury and take vengeance ,
I have set her blood on top of a rock ,
That it may not be covered ."
* "
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD : "
Woe to the bloody city !
I too will make the pyre great .
*
Heap on the wood ,
Kindle the fire ;
Cook the meat well ,
Mix in the spices ,
And let the cuts be burned up .
* "
Then set the pot empty on the coals ,
That it may become hot and its bronze may burn ,
That its filthiness may be melted in it ,
That its scum may be consumed .
*
She has grown weary with lies ,
And her great scum has not gone from her .
Let her scum be in the fire !
*
In your filthiness is lewdness .
Because I have cleansed you ,
and you were not cleansed ,
You will not be cleansed of your filthiness anymore ,
Till I have caused My fury to rest upon you .
*
I ,
the LORD ,
have spoken it ;
It shall come to pass ,
and I will do it ;
I will not hold back ,
Nor will I spare ,
Nor will I relent ;
According to your ways And according to your deeds They will judge you ,"
Says the Lord GOD ."'
