Contextual Overview
1 The Word of the Lord came to me on the tenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year, saying, 2 "Son of man, put down in writing this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has shut Jerusalem in with his army this very day. 3 And tell a picture-story to these sinful people of Israel. Tell them, ‘The Lord God says, "Put the pot on the fire. Put it on, and pour water in it. 4 Put all the good pieces of meat in it, the thigh, the shoulder. And fill it with the best bones. 5 Take the best of the flock. Put more and more wood under the pot to make it boil, and boil the bones in it." 6 'For the Lord God says, "It is bad for the city of blood, for the rusted pot whose rust has not been cleaned out of it! Take the pieces of meat out of it without choosing them. 7 For the blood of the city has been poured on the rock. It was not poured on the ground where the dust would cover it. 8 I have put the blood on the rock where it could not be covered, so that it would cause anger and punishment." 9 So the Lord God says, "It is bad for the city of blood! I will put much wood on the fire. 10 Put on more and more wood, and make the fire burn. Boil the meat well. Mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.

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.''
