I will pelt you with filth; ¹  I will treat you with contempt; I will make you a public spectacle.

At that time ¹  the sovereign master ²  will wash the excrement ³  from Zion’s women, he will rinse the bloodstains from Jerusalem’s midst, ⁴  as he comes to judge and to bring devastation. ⁵ 

Indeed, all the tables are covered with vomit; no place is untouched. ¹ 

There is a generation who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not washed ¹  from their filthiness. ² 

when people lie about us, we answer in a friendly manner. We are the world’s dirt and scum, even now.
