Ezekiel 16:41 Meaning and 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 provinces, as the Targum; meaning the Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, and Edomites, who would rejoice in their ruin; the judgments design those before mentioned: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also
shalt give no hire any more;
their idols, high places, and altars, being demolished, and they plundered of their substance; and after the Babylonish captivity the Jews never returned to idolatry any more.

39 I will hand you over to your lovers. They will destroy your platforms and tear down your illegal worship sites. They will tear off your clothes, take away your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.

40 They will also bring a mob against you. They will stone you and cut you into pieces with their swords.

41 They will burn your houses and punish you in the presence of many women. I will put an end to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay others.

42 Then I will rest from my fury against you, and I will stop being angry. I will be at peace. I will no longer be angry.

43 "'You didn't remember the time when you were young, and you made me very angry with all these things. So I will pay you back for what you have done, declares the Almighty LORD. Didn't you make wicked plans in addition to all your disgusting practices?
