에스겔 16:16-39 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 16:15-34

In these verses we have an account of the great wickedness of the people of Israel, especially in worshipping idols, notwithstanding the great favours that God had conferred upon them, by which, one would think, they should have been for ever engaged to him. This wickedness of theirs is here represented by the lewd and scandalous conversation of that beautiful maid which was rescued from ruin, brought up and well provided for by a kind friend and benefactor, that had been in all respects as a... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 16:35-43

Adultery was by the law of Moses made a capital crime. This notorious adulteress, the criminal at the bar, being in the foregoing verses found guilty, here has sentence passed upon her. It is ushered in with solemnity, Ezek. 16:35. The prophet, as the judge, in God's name calls to her, O harlot! hear the word of the Lord. Our Saviour preached to harlots, for their conversion, to bring them into the kingdom of God, not as the prophet here, to expel them out of it. Note, An apostate church is a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:16

And of thy garments thou didst take ,.... Which were made of fine linen, silk, and broidered work; which God had given them, and they were richly clad with: and deckedst thy high places with divers colours ; that is, with garments of divers colours; either they erected tents on their high places, made with these; or they covered their altars with them, which were on their high places for the ornament of them, as harlots deck their beds to allure their lovers; see Proverbs 7:16 ; or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:17

Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold, and of my silver, which I had given thee ,.... Or "thy glorious vessels of gold and silver" F8 כלי תפארתך מזהבי ומכספי "vasa gloriae tuae de auro meo, et de argento meo", Pagninus, Montanus; "vasa tua insigniora et elegantiora, facta ex auro meo?" Vatablus. ; meaning either the vessels of gold and silver in the temple, as Jerom thinks, which they converted to idolatrous uses; or rather their own household vessels of gold and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:18

And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them ,.... The images of men, the idols they worshipped; see Jeremiah 10:4 ; so the Papists at this day cover their idols, the images of the Virgin Mary, and other saints, with rich apparel, to draw the attention, admiration, and reverence of the people to them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them ; the oil which the Lord gave them for food, the land of Canaan being a land of oil olive; or which was to light the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:19

My meat also which I gave thee ,.... Or "my bread" F9 ולחמי "et panem meum", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Starckius. ; a general name for all eatables. The Targum renders it, "my good things.' The Jews apply it to the manna, which, they say, descended the same day the molten calf was made, and they set it before it. This interpretation Jarchi and Kimchi make mention of; it includes what follows: fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee ; for the land of Canaan was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:20

Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters ,.... Their own flesh and blood; which were more than to take their clothes, and cover their idols with them, and their food, and set it before them to part with them was much, but to part with these, and that in such a shocking manner as after mentioned, was so irrational and unnatural, as well as impious and wicked, as is not to be paralleled; and what increased their wickedness was, that these were not only their own, but the Lord's: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:21

That thou hast slain my children ,.... By creation, as all born into the world are; and by national adoption, as all the Jewish children were; and particularly the firstborn were eminently his, and which are here designed, as Jarchi interprets it; for they were the children that were slain and sacrificed to Molech; see Ezekiel 20:26 ; and delivered, them to cause them to pass through the fire for them ? for the sake of idols, for the worship of them; this they did before they were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:22

And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms ,.... Or idolatries, which were abominable to God, and were many; of which that just mentioned was not one of the least: thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth ; the destitute and forlorn condition then in, and what favours were then bestowed: when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood ; See Gill on Ezekiel 16:6 ; See Gill on Ezekiel 16:7 ; which is mentioned to upbraid the Jews with their ingratitude;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:23

And it came to pass after all thy wickedness ,.... This refers either to what goes before, so Kimchi; and the sense is, it shall be again as it was at first, after and because of all the above wickedness committed, thou shalt be left naked and bare, and destitute of all that is good: or rather to what follows in the next clause; and the meaning is, to all this wickedness before mentioned, which was so great that it might be thought nothing more could be added to it; and yet the following... read more
