Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

We have here, I. The notice God gives to Ezekiel in Babylon of Nebuchadnezzar's laying siege to Jerusalem, just at the time when he was doing it (Ezek. 24:2): ?Son of man, take notice, the king of Babylon, who is now abroad with his army, thou knowest not where, set himself against Jerusalem this same day.? It was many miles, it was many days? journey, from Jerusalem to Babylon. Perhaps the last intelligence they had from the army was that the design was upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:12

She hath wearied herself with lies ,.... 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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:13

In thy filthiness is lewdness ,.... Consummate wickedness joined with impudence, and an obstinate persisting in it; though her sins were so abominable and filthy, yet she was not ashamed of them, nor could be reclaimed from them; but, like a lewd woman, or an old harlot, was bold and impudent: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged ; made use of means for the purgation of them, by his prophets, and by exhortations and instructions given by them, and by various corrections... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 24:13

In thy filthiness is lewdness - זמה zimmah , a word that denominates the worst kinds of impurity; adultery, incest, etc., and the purpose, wish, design, and ardent desire to do these things. Hers were not accidental sins, they were abominations by design, and they were the worse in her, because God had cleansed her, had separated the Israelites from idolatry and idolatrous nations, and by his institutions removed from them all idolatrous incentives. But they formed alliances with the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The consuming cauldron. The threatened judgment has at last descended upon the guilty city; and Ezekiel, far away in the land of the Captivity, sees in vision, and declares to his fellow-captives by a parable, the siege of Jerusalem now actually taking place. As in so many parts of his prophecies, Ezekiel reveals by symbol that which he has to communicate. Opinions differ as to whether the cauldron was actually filled with the joints of animals and was actually heated by a fire. But the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The interior mechanism of war. The prophet is commissioned to employ another homely metaphor. The patience and ingenuity of God's love are inexhaustible. The homeliest imagery is employed with a view to vivid and abiding impression. Here it is shown that behind all the machinery and circumstance of war, a hand Divine directs and overrules. A moral force resides within the material and human agency. I. THE NECESSITY FOR THE SCOURGE . The necessity arose from the excessive... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14

The parable of the cauldron; or, the judgment upon Jerusalem. "Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me," etc. The interpretation of the chief features of this parable is not difficult. "The cauldron is Jerusalem. The flesh and the bones that are put therein are the Jews, the ordinary inhabitants of the city and the fugitives from the country. The fire is the fire of war. Water is poured into the cauldron, because in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:12

She hath wearied herself with lies , etc.; better, it (keeping to the image of the cauldron) is worn out with labors ; sc . with the pains taken to cleanse it, and yet the rust remains. The fire must burn, the retributive judgment must continue, till the work is done. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:12

A weary task. Jerusalem is represented as endeavoring to remove her own evil, but as growing weary in the fruitless task. The rust cannot be cleansed from the vessel. I. IT ACTS LIKE RUST . 1. It comes from a corroding agent . Temptation bites into the yielding soul like an acid. 2. It reveals an inferior character . Brass and iron become rusty under circumstances which leave gold and silver untarnished. Readiness to yield to temptation is a sign that there is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 24:13

Ineffectual discipline. Men who are providentially entrusted with the care and training of the young, or with the probation of undisciplined members of society, often have reason to complain that their endeavors seem to be utter failures, that there is no response to the appeal which by language and by action they are constantly addressing to those who are placed beneath their charge. It is very instructive to all such to observe what was the result of Jehovah's dealing with Judah and... read more
