“ Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say,‘ The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times far off.’

And utter a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, Thus says the Lord God:“ Set on the pot, set it on; pour in water also;put in it the pieces of meat, all the good pieces, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones.Take the choicest one of the flock; pile the logs under it; boil it well; seethe also its bones in it.“ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice.For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust.To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered.Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great.Heap on the logs, kindle the fire, boil the meat well, mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.Then set it empty upon the coals, that it may become hot, and its copper may burn, that its uncleanness may be melted in it, its corrosion consumed.She has wearied herself with toil; its abundant corrosion does not go out of it. Into the fire with its corrosion!On account of your unclean lewdness, because I would have cleansed you and you were not cleansed from your uncleanness, you shall not be cleansed anymore till I have satisfied my fury upon you.I am the Lord. I have spoken; it shall come to pass; I will do it. I will not go back; I will not spare; I will not relent; according to your ways and your deeds you will be judged, declares the Lord God.”

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,“ Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said,“ I see an almond branch.”Then the Lord said to me,“ You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.”The word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,“ What do you see?” And I said,“ I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.”

Therefore thus says the Lord God: Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of it, they are the meat, and this city is the cauldron, but you shall be brought out of the midst of it.You have feared the sword, and I will bring the sword upon you, declares the Lord God.And I will bring you out of the midst of it, and give you into the hands of foreigners, and execute judgments upon you.You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you at the border of Israel, and you shall know that I am the Lord.This city shall not be your cauldron, nor shall you be the meat in the midst of it. I will judge you at the border of Israel,
