Context of Ezekiel 24:10
8That it might cause fury to come up to execute vengeance, I have set her blood upon the bare rock, that it should not be covered. 9Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, boil thoroughly the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned. 11Then set it empty upon its coals, that it may be hot, and the brass of it may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, [and] that its rust may be consumed. 12She hath exhausted [her] labours, yet her great rust goeth not forth out of her: let her rust be in the fire.
