Discovery BoxEzekiel 24:13 
Context24:13 You mix uncleanness with obscene conduct. 1
I tried to cleanse you, 2 but you are not clean.
You will not be cleansed from your uncleanness 3
until I have exhausted my anger on you.
Ezekiel 39:24
Context39:24 According to their uncleanness and rebellion I have dealt with them, and I hid my face from them.
1 tn Heb “in your uncleanness (is) obscene conduct.”
2 tn Heb “because I cleansed you.” In this context (see especially the very next statement), the statement must refer to divine intention and purpose. Despite God’s efforts to cleanse his people, they resisted him and remained morally impure.
3 tn The Hebrew text adds the word “again.”
