# the city of blood
Here "blood" is a reference to "murder." AT: "the city of murderers" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# a cooking pot
Yahweh continues to compare Jerusalem to a cooking pot. AT: "it is like a cooking pot" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# rust
the red material that forms on metal. Rust eats away at metal and eventually destroys it
# Take piece after piece
Yahweh does not give this command to a specific person. This is a general command given to an unspecified person within this metaphor.
# but do not cast lots for it
Casting lots was a way of choosing which pieces of meat to take out, but because Yahweh wants to take out all of the pieces of meat, there is no need to cast lots.
