Ezekiel 24:12

“She hath wearied herself with lies, &c.] With serving idols, which were lying vanities; by trusting to the alliances of neighbouring nations, which deceived her; or by committing sin, in which there was no satisfaction; or it may be understood of wearying of God with their sins, and particularly with her lying promises of repentance and reformation: and her great scum went not forth out of her; notwithstanding her promises; or notwithstanding the admonitions given, and the chastisements inflicted on her, yet she continued hardened in her sins, impenitent and unreformed: her scum shall be in the fire; like a pot that boils over, its scum falls into the fire, and is consumed there; and in no…”

“wearied: Isa 47:13, Isa 57:9, Isa 57:10; Jer 2:13, Jer 9:5, Jer 10:14, Jer 10:15, Jer 51:58; Hos 12:1; Hab 2:13, Hab 2:18, Hab 2:19 her great: Eze 24:6, Eze 24:13; Gen 6:5-7, Gen 8:21; Isa 1:5; Jer 5:3, Jer 44:16, Jer 44:17; Dan 9:13, Dan 9:14 her scum: The pot being polluted with the scum, must be heated, melted, and even burned with fire till purified; that is, Jerusalem shall be entirely levelled with the ground, as nothing short of this will purify it from the relics of its idolatrous abominations. Ezekiel 24:13”
