Contextual Overview
1 The Lord spoke his word to me in the ninth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month. He said: 2 "Human, write down today's date, this very date. The king of Babylon has surrounded Jerusalem this very day. 3 And tell a story to the people who refuse to obey me. Say to them: ‘This is what the Lord God says: Put on the pot; put it on and pour water in it. 4 Put in the pieces of meat, the best pieces—the legs and the shoulders. Fill it with the best bones. 5 Take the best of the flock, and pile wood under the pot. Boil the pieces of meat until even the bones are cooked. 6 "‘This is what the Lord God says: How terrible it will be for the city of murderers! How terrible it will be for the rusty pot whose rust will not come off! Take the meat out of it, piece by piece. Don't choose any special piece. 7 "‘The blood from her killings is still in the city. She poured the blood on the bare rock. She did not pour it on the ground where dust would cover it. 8 To stir up my anger and revenge, I put the blood she spilled on the bare rock so it will not be covered. 9 "‘So this is what the Lord God says: How terrible it will be for the city of murderers! I myself will pile the wood high for burning. 10 Pile up the wood and light the fire. Finish cooking the meat. Mix in the spices, and let the bones burn.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then set it empty upon the coals thereof,.... The city, when emptied of its inhabitants and substance, like a pot that is boiled over, and all in it boiled away, or taken out; burn it with fire, as the city of Jerusalem when taken and plundered was:
that the brass of it may be hot, and burn; as brass will when set on coals: or, "the bottom of it" w; so Ben Melech observes, from the Misnah, that the lower part or bottom of a pot, cauldron, or furnace, is called the brass of it; and so the sense is, make the fire burn so fierce as to burn the bottom of the pot; or the canker and rust of it, which the following words explain:
and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed; the abominable wickedness of this people; since they were not reformed and brought to repentance for it by the admonitions and instructions given them, and by the chastisements and corrections laid upon them, they with their sins should be consumed in this terrible manner. The Targum is,
"I will leave the land desolate, that they may become desolate; and that the gates of her city may be consumed; and that those that work uncleanness in the midst of her may melt away, and her sins be consumed.''
