에스겔 16:37-41 KRV

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 16:37

Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure ,.... Or, "with whom thou hast mixed" F18 אשר ערבת עליהם "quibus commixtuisti cum illis", Starckius. ; in unlawful embraces, joined in sinful alliances, or in idolatrous practices: and all them that thou hast loved ; the Egyptians and Assyrians, whose friendship and idolatrous customs they were fond of: with all them that thou hast hated ; as the Philistines, Moabites, and Ammonites: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:38

And I will judge thee as women that break wedlock ,.... The marriage covenant, defile the marriage bed, and were adulteresses, who by the law of Moses were to be punished with death, Leviticus 20:10 ; and shed blood are judged ; who also were punished with death according to the original law in Genesis 9:6 ; the Jews were not only guilty of spiritual adultery, that is, idolatry; but also of murder, by sacrificing their infants to idols; and murder often follows upon adultery, as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:39

And I also will give thee into their hand ,.... Into the hand of their lovers and enemies that should be gathered against them, the Assyrians and Chaldeans, with others that joined them, as in Ezekiel 16:37 ; and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thine high places ; the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and altars; and not only these, but even the high places and altars which were set up for idolatrous uses; all should be destroyed by the Chaldean army. The... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:40

They shall also bring up a company against thee ,.... An army, so the Targum; the Chaldean army: and they shall stone thee with stones : cast out of their engines and slings, by which they battered the walls, as well as killed the inhabitants; and so the Targum renders it, with sling stones; the allusion is to the stoning of adulterous persons, Deuteronomy 22:24 ; and thrust thee through with their swords ; such as attempted to escape out of the city, or fell into the hands of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:41

And they shall burn thine houses with fire ,.... As the houses in Jerusalem were by Nebuchadnezzar's army, even the temple, the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and the houses of great men, even all the houses in the city, Jeremiah 52:13 ; and as was commanded to be done to idolatrous cities, Deuteronomy 13:16 ; and this also may be said in allusion to the burning of adulterous persons, Genesis 38:24 ; and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women ; or... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 16:38

Verse 38 This verse is only added for the sake of explanation. Already God had explained shortly and clearly every event which should happen to the Jews, yet they should perish in the greatest disgrace and be destitute of all help, since through distrust in God they sought the favor of men, like a woman eager for lovers. But he confirms the same teaching, that they should suffer double punishment, since they not only polluted themselves thus shamefully, but also by impious slaughters, since... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 16:39

Verse 39 Here Ezekiel enlarges upon God’s judgment, when he teaches that the Jews would not only be exposed to every disgrace, as if they were brought forward into a noble and conspicuous theater, but they would suffer spoliation and rapine from those in whom they formerly trusted. I will give thee, says he, into their hands He speaks of lovers and enemies: in truth, he says all shall meet together — your ancient allies and friends as well as your enemies: and we know that they were spoiled at... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 16:40

Verse 40 Since what Ezekiel has hitherto brought forward was incredible, he now explains the manner of its accomplishment — that the Chaldmans and Assyrians should bring a large army and bury the whole of Judea with stones, and pierce it through with swords. By these figures he simply means that there should be such slaughter that the whole region should be made desolate, just as if the enemy should slay all that they met with stones and swords. Some think that he alludes to stones which were... read more
