I will even make the pile{H4071} for fire great{H1431}{(H8686)}. 10 Heap{H7235}{(H8685)} on wood{H6086}, kindle{H1814}{(H8687)} the fire{H784}, consume{H8552}{(H8687)} the flesh{H1320}, and spice{H7543}{(H8687)} it well{H4841}, and let the bones{H6106} be burned{H2787}{(H8735)}. 11 Then set{H5975}{(H8687)} it empty{H7386} upon the coals{H1513} thereof, that the brass{H5178} of it may be hot{H3179}{(H8799)}, and may burn{H2787}{(H8804)}, and that the filthiness{H2932} of it may be molten{H5413}{(H8738)} in it{H8432}, that the scum{H2457} of it may be consumed{H8552}{(H8799)}. 12 She hath wearied{H3811}{(H8689)} herself with lies{H8383}, and her great{H7227} scum{H2457} went not forth{H3318}{(H8799)} out of her: her scum{H2457} shall be in the fire{H784}. 13 In thy filthiness{H2932} is lewdness{H2154}: because I have purged{H2891}{(H8765)} thee, and thou wast not purged{H2891}{(H8804)}, thou shalt not be purged{H2891}{(H8799)} from thy filthiness{H2932} any more, till I have caused my fury{H2534} to rest{H5117}{(H8687)} upon thee. 14 I the LORD{H3068} have spoken{H1696}{(H8765)} it: it shall come to pass{H935}{(H8802)}, and I will do{H6213}{(H8804)} it; I will not go back{H6544}{(H8799)}, neither will I spare{H2347}{(H8799)}, neither will I repent{H5162}{(H8735)}; according to thy ways{H1870}, and according to thy doings{H5949}, shall they judge{H8199}{(H8804)} thee, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}.
