“The blood
That she shed
Is inside it.
She placed it
On a bare rock.
She did not pour it out
On the ground
To cover it
With earth.
To rouse my wrath!
To take vengeance!
I have placed
The blood
That she shed
On a bare rock.
Thus this blood
May not be covered.”
Yahweh was upset about the blood being shed in Jerusalem since it was being placed on a bare rock. No one was pouring the blood out on the ground or covering it up. Was this an attempt to get Yahweh’s wrath aroused? Did someone need to take vengeance? Thus Yahweh also agreed to leave the blood in the city on the bare rocks instead of covering it up.
