Context of Ezekiel 24:10

8That it may raise up fury and take vengeance, I have set her blood on top of a rock, That it may not be covered.” 9‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the bloody city! I too will make the pyre great. Heap on the wood, Kindle the fire; Cook the meat well, Mix in the spices, And let the cuts be burned up. 11“Then set the pot empty on the coals, That it may become hot and its bronze may burn, That its filthiness may be melted in it, That its scum may be consumed. 12She has grown weary with lies, And her great scum has not gone from her. Let her scum be in the fire!
