“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says:
“Woe to the bloody city!
I also will make the pile great.
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says:
“Woe to the bloody city!
I also will make the pile great.
Ezekiel 24:6–12
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD 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 piece
without casting lots for it.
“‘“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.
That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance,
I have set her blood on the bare rock,
that it should not be covered.”
“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says:
“Woe to the bloody city!
I also will make the pile great.
Heap on the wood.
Make the fire hot.
Boil the meat well.
Make the broth thick,
and let the bones be burned.
Then set it empty on its coals,
that it may be hot,
and its bronze may burn,
and that its filthiness may be molten in it,
that its rust may be consumed.
She is weary with toil;
yet her great rust,
rust by fire, doesn’t leave her.
