Contextual Overview
1 The word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month: 2 "Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day. 3 Recite a proverb to this rebellious house and say to them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: "‘Set on the pot, set it on, pour water in it too; 4 add the pieces of meat to it, every good piece, the thigh and the shoulder; fill it with choice bones. 5 Take the choice bone of the flock, heap up bones under it; boil rapidly, and boil its bones in it. 6 "‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Woe to the city of bloodshed, the pot whose rot is in it, whose rot has not been removed from it! Empty it piece by piece. No lot has fallen on it. 7 For her blood was in it; she poured it on an exposed rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it up with dust. 8 To arouse anger, to take vengeance, I have placed her blood on an exposed rock so that it cannot be covered up. 9 "‘Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I will also make the pile high. 10 Pile up the bones, kindle the fire; cook the meat well, mix in the spices, let the bones be charred.

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
