Ezequiel 24:10

10 Amontoa a lenha, acende o fogo, ferve bem a carne, engrossando o caldo, e sejam queimados os ossos.

Ezequiel 24:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 24:10

Heap on wood, kindle the fire
This is said either to the prophet, to do this in an emblematic way; or to the Chaldean army, to prepare for the siege, encompass the city, begin their attacks, and throw in their stones out of their slings and engines, and arrows from their bows: consume the flesh;
not entirely, since it is afterwards to be spiced; but thoroughly boil it; denoting the severe sufferings the inhabitants should undergo before their utter ruin: spice it well;
pepper them off; batter their walls, beat down their houses, distress them by all manner of ways and means; signifying that this would be grateful to the Lord, as his justice would be glorified in the destruction of this people; and as the plunder of them would be like a spiced and sweet morsel to the enemy; whose appetites would hereby be sharpened and become keen, and to whom the sacking and plundering the city would be as agreeable as well seasoned meat to a hungry man: and let the bones be burnt;
either under it, or rather in it; even the strongest and most powerful among the people destroyed, who should hold out the longest in the siege. The Targum of the whole is,

``multiply kings; gather an army; order the auxiliaries, and prepare against her warriors, and let her mighty ones be confounded.''

Ezequiel 24:10 In-Context

8 Foi para fazer subir a minha indignação para tomar vingança, que eu pus o seu sangue numa penha descalvada, para que não fosse coberto.

9 Portanto, assim diz o Senhor Deus: Ai da cidade sanguinária! também eu farei grande a fogueira.

10 Amontoa a lenha, acende o fogo, ferve bem a carne, engrossando o caldo, e sejam queimados os ossos.

11 Então a porás vazia sobre as suas brasas, para que ela aqueça, e se derreta o seu cobre, e se funda a sua imundícia no meio dela, e se consuma a sua ferrugem.

12 Ela tem-se cansado com trabalhos; contudo não sai dela a sua muita ferrugem pelo fogo.
