Context of Ezekiel 24:10

8In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered. 9“‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I myself will make the pile of kindling large. Pile on the logs and kindle the fire! Cook the meat well and mix in the spices! Let the bones be burned! 11Set the empty pot on its coals so that it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt inside it; its corrosion will be consumed. 12It has frustrated every effort; its thick corrosion will not come off. Into the fire with its corrosion!
