Ezekiel 24:13

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.

2Ch 36:14-16; Isa 5:4-6; Isa 9:13-17; Jer 6:28-30; Jer 25:3-7; Jer 31:18; Eze 5:13; Eze 8:18; Eze 16:42; Eze 22:24; Eze 23:36-48; Eze 24:11; Ho 7:1,9-16; Am 4:6-12; Zep 3:2,7; Mt 23:37,38; Lu 13:7-9; Ro 2:8,9; 2Co 7:1; Re 22:11

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.”
