Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 24:13
13. lewdness—determined, deliberate wickedness; from a Hebrew root, "to purpose." I have purged thee—that is, I have left nothing untried which would tend towards purging thee, by sending prophets to invite thee to repentance, by giving thee the law with all its promises, privileges, and threats. thou shalt not be purged . . . any more—that is, by My gracious interpositions; thou shalt be left to thine own course to take its fatal consequences. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Ezekiel 24:13
Adultery in its many forms was part of Jerusalem’s filthiness. It clung to the city even though the Lord had sent many prophets to clean it up and had already deported many of the people (in 605 and 597 B.C.). Now it was time for a thorough purging of the pot by the fire of God’s wrath since cleansing with water had not been effective. Water and fire are two of God’s favorite instruments of judgment, according to Scripture (cf. 2 Peter 3:5-7). read more

The guarantee of Jerusalem’s present judgment 24:14In conclusion, the Lord promised that this judgment would come as He had predicted. He would not change His mind or mitigate the punishment. He would thoroughly judge the people because of their conduct and actions. They would be the meat and He would provide the heat. This is the most emphatic affirmation of divine resolve in the book. [Note: Block, The Book . . ., p. 781.] "God’s mercy prompts Him to withhold judgment as long as possible to... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 24:1-27

Ezekiel is commanded by God to note the date, and to speak to the exiles a final parable of the city’s coming fate. Jerusalem is a rusty pot filled with water and meat and set upon a fire. The meat is well boiled, and brought out piece by piece at random. The empty pot is then set back on the fire that the rust may be burned away. The rust... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 24:1-14
The cooking pot (24:1-14)On the day Babylon began its siege of Jerusalem, Ezekiel spoke another message (24:1-2; see 2 Kings 25:1). Previously the Jerusalemites had boasted that the walls of the city would protect them from the Babylonian armies as a cooking pot protects the meat within from the fire (see 11:3). Ezekiel now uses the illustration of the cooking pot in an entirely opposite sense. The people of Jerusalem (the meat in the pot) are going to be ‘cooked alive’ by the ‘fire’ of the... read more
