3Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says,“Put the cauldron on the fire.Put it on,and also pour water into it. 4Gather its pieces into it,even every good piece:the thigh and the shoulder.Fill it with the choice bones. 5Take the choice of the flock,and also a pile of wood for the bones under the cauldron.Make it boil well.Yes, let its bones be boiled within it.” 6“‘Therefore the Lord Yahweh says:“Woe to the bloody city,to the cauldron whose rust is in it,and whose rust hasn’t gone out of it!Take out of it piece after piecewithout casting lots for it. 7“‘“For the blood she shed is in the middle of her.She set it on the bare rock.She didn’t pour it on the ground,to cover it with dust.
