Context of Ezekiel 24:9

7For the blood she shed is still within her. She put it out on the bare rock; she didn’t pour it on the ground to cover it with dust. 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. “‘Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I myself will make the pile of kindling large. 10Pile 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.
