Bible verse
In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
Ezekiel 24:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 24.
4 Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece—thigh and shoulder—fill it with choice bones.
5 Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
7 For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
9 Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the kindling high.
10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire; cook the meat well and mix in the spices; let the bones be burned.
11 Set the empty pot on its coals until it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt within; its rust will be consumed.
12 It has frustrated every effort; its thick rust has not been removed, even by the fire.
