Contextual Overview
1And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying, 2"Son of man, write! Write the name of the day for yourself, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day. 3And use an allegory toward the house of rebellion, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour water into it, 4To gather its pieces to it, every good piece, || Thigh and shoulder, to fill in the choice of the bones. 5To take the choice of the flock, || And also to pile the bones under it, || Boil it thoroughly, indeed, cook its bones in its midst. 6Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, || A pot whose scum [is] in it, || And its scum has not come out of it, || By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, a lot has not fallen on it. 7For her blood has been in her midst, || She has set it on a clear place of a rock, || She has not poured it on the earth, || To cover it over with dust. 8To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, || I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered.9Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great. 10Make the wood abundant, || Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, || And make the compound, || And let the bones be burned.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.''
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The top of a rock - The blood was poured upon a naked, dry, rock where it could not be absorbed or unnoticed.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 24:8. That it might cause fury — This very blood shall be against them, as the blood of Abel was against Cain.
