Ezekiel 16:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 16:10

8 “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; ^aso I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I ^bswore an oath to you and entered into a ^ccovenant with you, and ^dyou became Mine,” says the Lord God.

9 “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil.

10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of¹ badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 I adorned you with ornaments, ^aput bracelets on your wrists, ^band a chain on your neck.

12 And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. ^aYou ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly ^bbeautiful, and succeeded to royalty.

14 ^aYour fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.

Jerusalem’s Harlotry

15 ^a“But you trusted in your own beauty, ^bplayed the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.

16 ^aYou took some of your garments and adorned multicolored¹ high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be.

17 You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and played the harlot with them.
