6Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the city of bloodshed, the pot whose rust is in it, and whose rust has not gone out from it! Bring it out piece by piece; no lot has fallen on it.

7For her blood is in her midst; she set it on a bare rock. She did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust.

8To stir up wrath, to take vengeance, I have set her blood on a bare rock, so that it would not be covered.
