Context of Ezekiel 24:9

7For her blood is in her midst; She set it on top of a rock; She did not pour it on the ground, To cover it with dust. 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.” ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Woe to the bloody city! I too will make the pyre great. 10Heap 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.
