SCRIPTURE

"In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed thee and thou wast not cleansed, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my wrath toward thee to rest." — Ezekiel 24:13 (ASV)

In your filthiness is lewdness
Consummate wickedness joined with impudence, and an obstinate persisting in it; though her sins were so abominable and filthy, yet she was not ashamed of them, nor could be reclaimed from them; but, like a lewd woman, or an old harlot, was bold and impudent:

because I have purged you, and you were not purged ;
made use of means for the purgation of them, by his prophets, and by exhortations and instructions given by them, and by various corrections and chastisements; but all in vain, and to no purpose, they were all without effect:

you shall not be purged from your filthiness any more till I have
caused my fury to rest upon you ;
there was no other way left to purge her from her sins, but by the fire of his wrath, and the fury of his anger, in her utter destruction.
