Context of Ezekiel 24:11

9Therefore, thus says the Lord God, “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great. 10Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, Boil the flesh well And mix in the spices, And let the bones be burned. Then set it empty on its coals So that it may be hot And its bronze may glow And its filthiness may be melted in it, Its rust consumed. 12She has wearied Me with toil, Yet her great rust has not gone from her; Let her rust be in the fire! 13In your filthiness is lewdness. Because I would have cleansed you, Yet you are not clean, You will not be cleansed from your filthiness again Until I have spent My wrath on you.
