Ezekiel 24:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 24:8

That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance
Into the heart and mind of God, into his face, speaking after the manner of men; observing such gross and open wickedness, he determined within himself to show his resentment, manifest his wrath and displeasure, and take vengeance on such capital and impudent offenders: I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it might not be
covered;
by way of just retaliation; that as her sin was publicly committed, and no repentance shown for it, so her punishment should be open and manifest to all the world, and no forgiveness should be granted her. The Targum is,

``I have revealed their sins, because they have shed innocent blood openly, that it might not be forgiven.''

Ezekiel 24:8 In-Context

6 The LORD God proclaims: Horror! You bloody city, you corroded pot; pot whose corrosion can't be removed! Empty it piece by piece. She is rejected

7 because her blood is still with her. She didn't pour it out on the ground so that it could be covered with dirt, but she spread it out on a bare rock.

8 In order to arouse wrath, to guarantee vengeance, I will spread her blood on a bare rock, never to be covered.

9 So now the LORD God proclaims: Horror! You bloody city! I myself will add fuel to the fire!

10 Pile on the wood, light the fire, and cook the meat. Season it well and let the bones be charred.
