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 “Now this is what the Sovereign LORD says: What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers! She is a cooking pot whose corruption can’t be cleaned out. Take the meat out in random order, for no piece is better than another.

7 For the blood of her murders is splashed on the rocks. It isn’t even spilled on the ground, where the dust could cover it!

8 So I will splash her blood on a rock for all to see, an expression of my anger and vengeance against her.

9 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: What sorrow awaits Jerusalem, the city of murderers! I myself will pile up the fuel beneath her.

10 Yes, heap on the wood! Let the fire roar to make the pot boil. Cook the meat with many spices, and afterward burn the bones.
