Ezequiel 16:38

Listen to Ezequiel 16:38
38 Te juzgaré como son juzgadas las adúlteras y las que derraman sangre, y traeré sobre ti sangre de furor y de celos.

Ezequiel 16:38 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:38

And I will judge thee as women that break wedlock
The marriage covenant, defile the marriage bed, and were adulteresses, who by the law of Moses were to be punished with death, ( Leviticus 20:10 ) ( Deuteronomy 22:22 ) ; and shed blood are judged;
who also were punished with death according to the original law in ( Genesis 9:6 ) ; the Jews were not only guilty of spiritual adultery, that is, idolatry; but also of murder, by sacrificing their infants to idols; and murder often follows upon adultery, as Kimchi observes; and, these people were guilty of shedding innocent blood on other accounts; but the first mentioned is chiefly designed here: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy;
by way of retaliation; blood being shed, blood is given, and that in wrath and vengeance; the allusion is to a jealous and abused husband, that avenges himself of the person that has injured him; see ( Revelation 16:6 ) .

Ezequiel 16:38 In-Context

36 Así dice el Señor DIOS: Por cuanto fue derramada tu lascivia y descubierta tu desnudez en tus prostituciones con tus amantes y con todos tus detestables ídolos, y a causa de la sangre de tus hijos que les ofreciste,
37 por tanto, he aquí, yo reuniré a todos tus amantes con quienes te gozaste, a todos los que amaste y a todos los que aborreciste; los reuniré de todas partes contra ti, descubriré tu desnudez ante ellos y ellos verán toda tu desnudez.
38 Te juzgaré como son juzgadas las adúlteras y las que derraman sangre, y traeré sobre ti sangre de furor y de celos.
39 También te entregaré en manos de tus amantes y ellos derribarán tus santuarios, destruirán tus lugares altos, te despojarán de tus vestidos, te quitarán tus bellas joyas y te dejarán desnuda y descubierta.
40 Incitarán contra ti una multitud, y te apedrearán y te harán pedazos con sus espadas.
