So that it may be hot

And its bronze may [fn]glow,

And its filthiness may be melted in it,

Its rust eliminated.

Yet her great rust has not gone from her;

Let her rust be in the fire!

Because I would have cleansed you,

Yet you are not clean,

You will not be cleansed from your filthiness again

Until I have [fn]expended My wrath on you.
