Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Ezekiel 24:6-14

(6-14) These verses contain the application of the parable in two distinct parts (Ezekiel 24:6), but in such wise that the literal and the figurative continually run together. A new feature, that of the rust on the cauldron, is also introduced. A somewhat similar figure may be found in Isaiah 4:4, but with the difference that Ezekiel, as usual, goes much more into minute details.
