Symbol of the Cooking Pot

1 Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, write down the name of the day, this very day—the king of Babylon started his siege against Jerusalem athis very day.  
3 aAnd utter a parable to the rebellious house, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
b“Put on a pot, set it on,
And also pour water into it. 
4 Gather pieces of meat in it,
Every good piece,
The thigh and the shoulder.
Fill it with choice1 cuts; 
5 Take the choice of the flock.
Also pile fuel bones under it,
Make it boil well,
And let the cuts simmer in it.”
6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Woe to athe bloody city,
To the pot whose scum is in it,
And whose scum is not gone from it!
Bring it out piece by piece,
On which no blot has fallen. 
7 For her blood is in her midst;
She set it on top of a rock;
aShe did not pour it on the ground,
To cover it with dust. 
8 That it may raise up fury and take vengeance,
aI have set her blood on top of a rock,
That it may not be covered.”  
9 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:
a“Woe to the bloody city!
I too will make the pyre great. 
10 Heap on the wood,
Kindle the fire;
Cook the meat well,
Mix in the spices,
And let the1 cuts be burned up. 
11 “Then set the pot empty on the coals,
That it may become hot and its bronze may burn,
That aits filthiness may be melted in it,
That its scum may be consumed. 
12 She has1 grown weary with lies,
And her great scum has not gone from her.
Let her scum be in the fire! 
13 In your afilthiness is lewdness.
Because I have cleansed you, and you were not cleansed,
You will bnot be cleansed of your filthiness anymore,
cTill I have caused My fury to rest upon you. 
14 aI, the Lord, have spoken it;
bIt shall come to pass, and I will do it;
I will not hold back,
cNor will I spare,
Nor will I relent;
According to your ways
And according to your deeds
1They will judge you,”
Says the Lord God.’ ”  

The Prophet’s Wife Dies

15 Also the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
16 “Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with one stroke; yet you shall aneither mourn nor weep, nor shall your tears run down.
