Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
6 For 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.
7 For 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;
8 In 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.
9 For this cause the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood! and I will make great the burning mass.
10 Put on much wood, heating up the fire, boiling the flesh well, and making the soup thick, and let the bones be burned.
11 And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away.
12 I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell.
