Ezekiel 24:10

"“‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Woe to the bloody city! I also will make the pile great."

Key Reflection

This verse speaks of judgment upon a city steeped in violence, symbolized by a large pile of wood that intensifies the destruction. The Lord declares He will bring about a severe and all-encompassing desolation, emphasizing both the severity of the city’s sin and God's ultimate authority to execute justice.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Consume ... spice it well -i. e., “dress the flesh, and make it froth and bubble, that the bones and the flesh may be all boiled up together.”
