Ezekiel 24:8

To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, || I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered.

Literal Standard Version

In The King James Version

That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

In Context

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.

9Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great.
