7 For her blood was in the midst of her; she set it upon a dry rock; she poured it not forth upon the earth to cover over it with dust; 8 To cause wrath to come up, to avenge vengeance; I gave her blood upon the dry rock not to be covered. 9 For this, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo to the city of bloods! I will make her pile great. 10 Multiply the woods, kindle the fire, make ready the flesh, and spice with spicing, and the bones shall be burned. 11 And cause it to stand upon its coals, empty, so that its brass shall be warm and burning, and its uncleanness was melted in the midst of it; its rust shall be consumed. 12 She was wearied with labors, and her great rust shall not go forth from her: in the fire her rust. 13 In thy uncleanness is wickedness: because I cleansed thee and thou wert not cleansed, thou shalt no more be cleansed from thy uncleanness till my causing my wrath to rest upon thee.
