Context of Ezekiel 24:9

7Blood is still in that city. The blood was poured on a bare rock. It wasn’t poured on the ground where dust would cover it. 8In order to stir up my fury so that I would pay that city back, I put the blood of its victims on a bare rock. Now that blood can’t be covered. “ ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: How horrible it will be for that city of murderers. I, too, will pile the wood high. 10Pile it high, and light the fire. Cook the meat thoroughly, stir the mixture, and let the bones burn. 11Then set the empty pot on the coals so that it gets hot and its copper glows. Its impurities will melt away, and its tarnish will burn off.
