Ezekiel 23:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:10

These discovered her wickedness
That is, stripped them of all their substance: they took her sons and her daughters;
and carried them captive: and slew her with the sword;
put an end to the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes, and which was never recovered to this day: and she became famous among women;
or among the provinces, as the Targum; she became famous, or rather infamous, among other nations; was talked of for her sins, her whoredoms and idolatries, and the vengeance of God upon her for them; she became a byword and a proverb among the kingdoms of the world for her wickedness and her destruction: for they had executed judgment upon her;
that is, the Assyrians, who were the instruments in God's hand in doing justice to her, and inflicting his judgments on her, and for that she became famous.

9 Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians, for whom she lusted.

10 These uncovered her nakedness; they seized her sons and her daughters; and they killed her with the sword. Judgment was executed upon her, and she became a byword among women.

11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt than she in her lusting and in her whorings, which were worse than those of her sister.
