Ezek. 24:13• 13In thy filthiness is lewdness, for I have purged thee, and thou art not pure. Thou shalt no more be purged from thy filthiness, till I have satisfied my fury upon thee. (Ezek. 24:13)
;
Heb. 6:4‑8• 4For it is impossible to renew again to repentance those once enlightened, and who have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
 5and have tasted the good word of God, and the works of power of the age to come,
 6and have fallen away, crucifying for themselves as they do the Son of God, and making a show of him.
 7For ground which drinks the rain which comes often upon it, and produces useful herbs for those for whose sakes also it is tilled, partakes of blessing from God;
 8but bringing forth thorns and briars, it is found worthless and nigh to a curse, whose end is to be burned. (Heb. 6:4‑8)
;
2 Peter 1:9• 9for he with whom these things are not present is blind, short-sighted, and has forgotten the purging of his former sins. (2 Peter 1:9)

 22But that word of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog has turned back to his own vomit; and, The washed sow to her rolling in mud. (2 Peter 2:20‑22)
