“‘This is what the Lord God says:

How terrible it will be for the city of murderers!
    How terrible it will be for the rusty pot!
    Its rust will not go away!
Take the meat out of it, piece by piece.
    Don’t choose any special piece.

“‘The blood from her killings is still in the city.
    She poured the blood on the bare rock.
She did not pour it on the ground
    where dust would cover it.
To stir up my anger and revenge,
    I put the blood she spilled on the bare rock.
    So it will not be covered.

“‘For the blood she shed is in her midst:
    She poured it on the bare rock;
she did not pour it on the ground,
    where the dust would cover it.(E)
To stir up wrath and take revenge
    I put her blood on the bare rock,
    so that it would not be covered.
