Ezekiel 23:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:22

Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord God
Or, ye two tribes of Benjamin and Judah, hear what the Lord says unto you: behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee;
the Chaldeans, whom they had formerly loved, and in whose alliance they were, and whose idols they worshipped: from whom thy mind is alienated;
having broke covenant with them, and cast off their yoke, and rebelled against them: and I will bring them against thee on every side;
to besiege and encompass Jerusalem on every side with their army, as they did, so that there was no escaping.
