John Trapp on Ezekiel 24:12

Ver. 12. She hath wearied her ſelf with lyes] With ſeeking and truſting to lying vanities, creature comforts. Others render it, ſhe hath wearied me with lyes, i. e. with falſe promiſes of amendment. Others, Fruſtrà ſudatum eſt, pains is taken with them to no purpoſe.

And her great ſcum went not forth out of her] But is ſodden into her partly, and partly ſodden over into the fire. A godly man cleareth himſelf of ſin, as ſpring-water worketh it ſelf clean: as the Sea will endure no poiſonful thing, but caſteth it upon the ſhore: as the ſweet water, made brackiſh by the coming in of the ſalt-water, gets to be ſweet again: ſo do Gods people work out brackiſh and ſinful diſpoſitions, &c. The good heart admitteth not the mixture of any ſin, though ſin may cleave to it as droſſe doth to ſilver, yet like right wine or hony, as the ſcum ariſeth, ſtill it caſteth it out: ſo here.
