And they shall recompense your lewdness upon
you
Or, "give your lewdness" F17; the punishment of it; the just
recompence of reward for their idolatry: and ye shall bear
the sins of your idols;
the shame, and guilt, and punishment of their sins committed in
worshipping idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord
God;
the only Lord God who is to be worshipped, and not idols; jealous
of my honour and glory, and true to my word; who can and will
accomplish all I have said; this the Jews knew and acknowledged
when in captivity, and returned from it, as they will more fully
when they shall be converted in the latter day.
