In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.

Ver. 13. In thy filthiness is lewdness,] i.e., Thou art desperately stiff and stubborn; thy disease is complicated, and threateneth death.

Because I have purged thee,] i.e., Called upon thee by my prophets to "cleanse thyself of all filthiness of flesh and spirit"; sought also to purge thee by the soap of afflictions, and by the cudgel of calamities. Isaiah 1:16 ; Isa 27:9 cf. Isa 1:5-7

And thou wast not purged.] From thy sin, which had gotten into thy very frame and constitution, was weaved into the texture of thine heart.

Thou shalt not be purged.] But shalt perish in thy sins - which is worse than to die in a ditch - "and pine away in thine iniquities." Eze 24:23 He who is filthy, shall be filthy still; a fearful sentence.

Till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.] Till I have purged thee in hell fire, which will be ever doing, but never be done; donec omnia tela vindictae meae in te exhausero, till I have emptied my quiver, spent my wrath upon thee.
