24:6 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot {f} whose scum [is] in it, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out {g} piece by piece; let no {h} lot fall upon it.
(f) Whose iniquities and wicked citizens there yet remain.
(g) Signifying that they should not be destroyed all at once, but little by little.
(h) Spare no estate or condition.
24:6 The bloody city - Jerusalem. Whose scum - Her wickedness is still within her. Piece by piece - One piece after another 'till all be consumed. No lot - Lots are for saving some, but here shall be no sparing any.
24:1-14 The pot on the fire represented Jerusalem besieged by the Chaldeans: all orders and ranks were within the walls, prepared as a prey for the enemy. They ought to have put away their transgressions, as the scum, which rises by the heat of the fire, is taken from the top of the pot. But they grew worse, and their miseries increased. Jerusalem was to be levelled with the ground. The time appointed for the punishment of wicked men may seem to come slowly, but it will come surely. It is sad to think how many there are, on whom ordinances and providences are all lost.
