Commentary on Ezekiel 24:12
She hath wearied herself with lies shifts from pot to personification—Jerusalem is an exhausted liar. And her great scum went not forth out of her, her scum shall be in the fire declares that despite exhaustive efforts, the corruption remains. Therefore it must be burned out rather than scrubbed out. Moral effort cannot remove what only grace and judgment can purge. The lies refer to false prophecies, political deceptions, and self-deception about their spiritual state. Lies exhaust those who maintain them but don't deliver promised results. Truth liberates; lies enslave and exhaust.
