Ezekiel 23:27 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 23:27

25 I will set My ^ajealousy against you,
And they shall deal furiously with you;
They shall remove your nose and your ears,
And your remnant shall fall by the sword;
They shall take your sons and your daughters,
And your remnant shall be devoured by fire.

26 ^aThey shall also strip you of your clothes
And take away your beautiful jewelry.

27 ‘Thus ^aI will make you cease your lewdness and your ^bharlotry
Brought from the land of Egypt,
So that you will not lift your eyes to them,
Nor remember Egypt anymore.’

28 “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hand of ^athose you hate, into the hand of those ^bfrom whom you alienated yourself.

29 ^aThey will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and ^bleave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotry.

30 I will do these things to you because you have ^agone as a harlot after the Gentiles, because you have become defiled by their idols.

31 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will put her ^acup in your hand.’
