Ezekiel 24:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

She; the nation of the Jews, and the city Jerusalem. Hath wearied; either her God, (so the French translation,) by her repeated sins, and pertinacy in them, as elsewhere, Isaiah 1:14, Isaiah 7:13 43:24; or wearied others, by injuries done against them; or, as we read it, herself, spent much time and taken great pains, laid out much treasure in making alliances for her security. With lies: her allies, their promises, their forces, and their idols, on which these unhappy Jews relied, all prove a lie to the house of Judah. Her great scum went not forth; she repented not, nor did she reform her ways. Her scum, her unrepented sins, shall be in the fire, shall be punished in the fire that burns their city.

Ezekiel 24:12

12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
