Take the choicest one of the flock,
    pile the logs[a] under it;
boil its pieces,[b]
    seethe[c] also its bones in it.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God:

Woe to the bloody city,
    the pot whose rust is in it,
    whose rust has not gone out of it!
Empty it piece by piece,
    making no choice at all.[d]
For the blood she shed is inside it;
    she placed it on a bare rock;
she did not pour it out on the ground,
    to cover it with earth.
