10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire!
Cook the meat well
and mix in the spices![a][b]
Let the bones be burned!
11 Set the empty pot on its coals
so that it becomes hot and its copper glows.
Then its impurity will melt inside it;
its rust will be consumed.(A)
12 It has frustrated every effort;[c]
its thick rust will not come off.
Into the fire with its rust!
