Ezequiel 24:12

12 En fraude se cansó, y nunca salió de ella su mucha espuma. En fuego será su espuma consumida.

Ezequiel 24:12 Meaning and 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 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 other way, but by the fire of divine judgments, or the burning of the city, could the wickedness thereof be consumed. The Targum is,

``and they shall not go out of her that work iniquity; in the fire shall she be burnt, because of the multitude of her sins.''

Ezequiel 24:12 In-Context

10 multiplicando la leña, encendiendo el fuego, para consumir la carne, y hacer la salsa; y los huesos serán quemados;

11 asentando después la olla vacía sobre sus brasas, para que se caldee, y se queme su fondo, y se funda en ella su suciedad, y se consuma su espuma.

12 En fraude se cansó, y nunca salió de ella su mucha espuma. En fuego será su espuma consumida.

13 En tu suciedad perversa padecerás , porque te limpié, y tú no te limpiaste de tu suciedad; nunca más te limpiarás, hasta que yo haga descansar mi ira sobre ti.

14 Yo, el SEÑOR, hablé; vine, e hice. No me tornaré atrás, ni tendré misericordia, ni me arrepentiré; según tus caminos y tus obras te juzgarán, dijo el Señor DIOS.
