Symbol of the Cooking Pot
b“Put on a pot, set it on,
And also pour water into it.
Every good piece,
The thigh and the shoulder.
Fill it with choice1 cuts;
Also pile fuel bones under it,
Make it boil well,
And let the cuts simmer in it.”
“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.
She set it on top of a rock;
aShe did not pour it on the ground,
To cover it with dust.
aI have set her blood on top of a rock,
That it may not be covered.”
Kindle the fire;
Cook the meat well,
Mix in the spices,
And let the1 cuts be burned up.
That it may become hot and its bronze may burn,
That aits filthiness may be melted in it,
That its scum may be consumed.
And her great scum has not gone from her.
Let her scum be in the fire!
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.
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.’ ”
