In context

3Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.

4Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece— thigh and shoulder— fill it with choice bones.

5Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’

6Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.

7For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
