Ezekiel 16:40 Meaning and 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 ) ( John 8:5 ) ; and thrust thee through with their swords;
such as attempted to escape out of the city, or fell into the hands of the enemy when it was taken, were slain with the sword.

Ezekiel 16:40 In-Context

38 And I will judge you as women who break wedlock or shed blood are judged; I will bring blood upon you in fury and jealousy.

39 I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your shrines and break down your high places. They shall also strip you of your clothes, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.

40 They shall also bring up an assembly against you, and they shall stone you with stones and thrust you through with their swords.

41 They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will make you cease playing the harlot, and you shall no longer hire lovers.

42 So I will lay to rest My fury toward you, and My jealousy shall depart from you. I will be quiet, and be angry no more.
