“Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.”
Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is in it, and whose scum has not gone out of it! Bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it. Jerusalem's identity as the bloody city returns; the scum in the pot represents the accumulation of blood and uncleanness. The command to remove the meat piece by piece establishes systematic destruction.
