Ezequiel 23:41-49

41 e te assentaste sobre um leito de honra, diante do qual estava uma mesa preparada; e puseste sobre ela o meu incenso e o meu óleo.

42 Ouvia-se ali a voz de uma multidão satisfeita; e com homens de classe baixa foram trazidos beberrões do deserto; e eles puseram braceletes nas mãos das mulheres, e coroas de esplendor nas suas cabeças.

43 Então disse eu da envelhecida em adultérios: Agora deveras se contaminarão com ela e ela com eles.

44 E entraram a ela, como quem entra a uma prostituta; assim entraram a Aolá e a Aolibá, mulheres lascivas.

45 De maneira que homens justos são os que as julgarão como se julgam as adúlteras, e como se julgam as que derramam o sangue; porque adúlteras são, e sangue há nas suas mãos.

46 Pois assim diz o Senhor Deus: Farei subir contra elas uma hoste e as entregarei ao tumulto e ao saque.

47 E a hoste apedrejá-las-á, e as matará � espada; trucidará a seus filhos e suas filhas, e queimará as suas casas a fogo.

48 Assim farei cessar da terra a lascívia, para que se escarmentem todas as mulheres, e não procedam conforme a vossa lascivia.

49 E a vós vos pagarão o vosso procedimento lascivo e levareis os pecados dos vossos ídolos; e sabereis que eu sou o Senhor Deus.

Ezequiel 23:41-49 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EZEKIEL 23

In this chapter the idolatries of Israel and Judah are represented under the metaphor of two harlots, and their lewdness. These harlots are described by their descent; by the place and time in which they committed their whoredoms; by their names, and which are explained, Eze 23:1-4, the idolatries of Israel, or the ten tribes, under the name of Aholah, which they committed with the Assyrians, and which they continued from the Egyptians, of whom they had learned them, are exposed, Eze 23:5-8, and their punishment for them is declared, Eze 23:9,10 then the idolatries of Judah, or the two tribes, under the name of Aholibah, are represented as greater than those of the ten tribes, Eze 23:11, which they committed with the Assyrians, Eze 23:12, with the Chaldeans and Babylonians, Eze 23:13-18 in imitation of the Egyptians, reviving former idolatries learnt of them, Eze 23:19-21, wherefore they are threatened, that the Chaldeans, Babylonians, and Assyrians, should come against them, and spoil them, and carry them captive, Eze 23:22-35, and the prophet is bid to declare the abominable sin of them both, Eze 23:36-44, and to signify that they should be judged after the manner of adulteresses, should be stoned, and dispatched with swords, their sons and their daughters, and their houses burnt with fire; by which means their adulteries or idolatries should be made to cease, Eze 23:45-49.
