“For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;”
For the blood she has shed is in the midst of her; she poured it on the bare rock, not on the ground to cover it with dust. The blood imagery emphasizes Jerusalem's violence and the fact that she makes no attempt to hide or atone for her bloodshed. The bare rock suggests visibility and exposure of the crime.
