Now speak a parable to the rebellious house. Tell them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: Put the pot on the fire— put it on, and then pour water into it!Place the pieces of meat in it, every good piece— thigh and shoulder. Fill it with choice bones.Take the choicest of the flock and also pile up the fuel under it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.“‘ Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the city of bloodshed, the pot that has corrosion inside it, and its corrosion has not come out of it! Empty it piece by piece; lots should not be cast for its contents.For the blood she shed is still within her. She put it out on the bare rock; she didn’t pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.“‘ Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I myself will make the pile of kindling large.Pile on the logs and kindle the fire! Cook the meat well and mix in the spices! Let the bones be burned!Set the empty pot on its coals so that it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt inside it; its corrosion will be consumed.It has frustrated every effort; its thick corrosion will not come off. Into the fire with its corrosion!Because of the depravity of your uncleanness— since I tried to purify you, but you would not be purified from your uncleanness— you will not be pure again until I have satisfied my wrath on you.

You hate good and love evil. You tear off people’s skin and strip their flesh from their bones.You eat the flesh of my people after you strip their skin from them and break their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”

I have made your forehead like a diamond, harder than flint. Don’t be afraid of them or discouraged by the look on their faces, though they are a rebellious house.”Next he said to me,“ Son of man, listen carefully to all my words that I speak to you and take them to heart.Go to your people, the exiles, and speak to them. Tell them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”
