Ezekiel 24:10

Judgment

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.

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.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
