Ezekiel 24:13 Meaning and 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;

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.
