Context of Ezekiel 24:9

7For the blood of her murders is splashed on the rocks. It isn’t even spilled on the ground, where the dust could cover it! 8So I will splash her blood on a rock for all to see, an expression of my anger and vengeance against her. “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers! I myself will pile up the fuel beneath her. 10Yes, heap on the wood! Let the fire roar to make the pot boil. Cook the meat with many spices, and afterward burn the bones. 11Now set the empty pot on the coals. Heat it red hot! Burn away the filth and corruption.
