Ezekiel 16:39 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:39

And I also will give thee into their hand
Into the hand of their lovers and enemies that should be gathered against them, the Assyrians and Chaldeans, with others that joined them, as in ( Ezekiel 16:37 ) ; and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down
thine high places;
the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and altars; and not only these, but even the high places and altars which were set up for idolatrous uses; all should be destroyed by the Chaldean army. The Targum is,

``and they shall destroy thy walls, and thy high places shall be destroyed:''
they shall strip thee also of thy clothes;
as persons commonly are when taken captives: and shall take thy fair jewels;
or, "the vessels of thy glory" F19; the vessels of the sanctuary of gold and silver, and their own household furniture, with all their riches and substance: and leave thee naked and bare;
as at first when in Egypt; see ( Ezekiel 16:7 ) .

Ezekiel 16:39 In-Context

37 therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from every side and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38 And I will judge you as women who commit adultery and shed blood are judged, and bring upon you the blood of wrath and jealousy.
39 And I will give you into their hands, and they shall throw down your vaulted chamber and break down your lofty places. They shall strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels and leave you naked and bare.
40 They shall bring up a crowd against you, and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
41 And they shall burn your houses and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women. I will make you stop playing the whore, and you shall also give payment no more.
