Ezekiel 23:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:22

Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord God
Or, ye two tribes of Benjamin and Judah, hear what the Lord says unto you: behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee;
the Chaldeans, whom they had formerly loved, and in whose alliance they were, and whose idols they worshipped: from whom thy mind is alienated;
having broke covenant with them, and cast off their yoke, and rebelled against them: and I will bring them against thee on every side;
to besiege and encompass Jerusalem on every side with their army, as they did, so that there was no escaping.

22 So Oholibah, the LORD God proclaims: I'm now inciting your lovers against you, all those from whom you recoiled, and I will bring them against you from all around—

23 Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the Assyrians with them, the most handsome young men, all of them governors and officers, career officers and conscripts, all of them on horseback.

24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a great army, with shield, buckler, and helmet; and they will surround you. I will hand your punishment over to them, and they will judge you according to their laws.
