I will even make the pyre large. 10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. 11 Then set it empty on its coals, that its bronze may be hot and may burn, and that its filthiness may be melted in it, that its scum may be consumed. 12 She has wearied herself with lies, and her great scum did not go out of her: her scum shall be in the fire. 13 In your filthiness is depravity: because I have purged you, and you were not purged, you shall not be purged of your filthiness anymore, until I have caused my fury to rest upon you. 14 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways, and according to your deeds, they shall judge you, says the Lord GOD.
