Ezekiel 23:44 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:44

Yet they went in unto her
Made a league with one another, and joined in idolatrous worship: as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot;
with the same heat of lust, with the same greediness and eager desire as young men do when they go into a brothel house where a beautiful harlot lives: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah; the lewd women,
the ten tribes of Israel, and the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, which apostatized from God, and committed idolatry; with these the Sabeans before mentioned, and other nations, joined in idolatrous worship.

Ezekiel 23:44 In-Context

42 The noise of a carefree crowd could be heard there; many of the men were brought in drunk from the desert. They put bracelets on their hands and magnificent crowns on their heads.
43 I thought, 'That woman! She's worn out from all her adulteries, but they still go to fornicate with her!'
44 For every one went in to her; just as men go in to a prostitute, so they went in to Oholah and Oholivah, those debauched women.
45 Nevertheless, there are righteous men who will judge them as adulterers and murderers are supposed to be judged; because they are adulterers, and blood is dripping from their hands.
46 For here is what Adonai ELOHIM says: 'Summon an assembly to punish them; give them over to terror and plunder.
