The word "her" refers to Jerusalem, which is represented by the cooking pot.
She has set it on the smooth rock; she has not poured it out on the ground to cover it with dust

AT: "They were murdered on the smooth rocks; not on the dirt where the dust would hide their blood" or "Their blood fell on the smooth rocks; it did not fall on the ground where the dust would cover it" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
