2Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.
3And make a comparison for this uncontrolled people, and say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Put on the cooking-pot, put it on the fire and put water in it:
4And get the bits together, the fat tail, every good part, the leg and the top part of it: make it full of the best bones.
5Take the best of the flock, put much wood under it: see that its bits are boiling well; let the bones be cooked inside it.
6For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.
7For her blood is in her; she has put it on the open rock not draining it on to the earth so that it might be covered with dust;
8In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.
