Contextual Overview

¹ Nine years after King Jehoiachin and the rest of us had been led away as prisoners to Babylonia, the Lord spoke to me on the tenth day of the tenth month. He said: ² Ezekiel, son of man, write down today's date, because the king of Babylonia has just begun attacking the city of Jerusalem. ³ Then tell my rebellious people: "Pour water in a cooking pot and set it over a fire. ⁴ Throw in the legs and shoulders of your finest sheep and put in the juicy bones. ⁵ "Pile wood underneath the pot, and let the meat and bones boil until they are done." ⁶ These words mean that Jerusalem is doomed! The city is filled with murderers and is like an old, rusty pot. The meat is taken out piece by piece, and no one cares what happens to it. ⁷ The people of Jerusalem murdered innocent people in the city and didn't even try to cover up the blood that flowed out on the hard ground. ⁸ But I have seen that blood, and it cries out for me to take revenge. ⁹ I, the Lord God, will punish that city of violence! I will make a huge pile of firewood, ¹⁰ so bring more wood and light it. Cook the meat and boil away the broth to let the bones scorch.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 and chastisements; but all in vain, and to no purpose, they were all without effect:

thou shall not be purged from thy filthiness any more till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee; there was no other way left to purge her from her sins, but by the fire of his wrath, and the fury of his anger, in her utter destruction.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 24:13. In thy filthiness is lewdness — זמה zimmah, a word that denominates the worst kinds of impurity; adultery, incest, c., 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 heathen, and adopted all their abominations therefore God would not spare them. See Ezekiel 24:14.
