Ezekiel 23:48

48 Je ferai cesser ainsi le crime dans le pays; Toutes les femmes recevront instruction, Et ne commettront pas de crime comme le vôtre.

Ezekiel 23:48 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:48

Thus will I cause to cease lewdness out of the land
There being no opportunity for it, nor any to commit it; what were not destroyed by famine, sword, and pestilence, during the siege, were carried captive; and, when they returned, were never more given to idolatry; see ( Ezekiel 23:27 ) : that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness;
that is, that all provinces, as the Targum, all kingdoms; states, churches, and people, hearing and reading the judgments of God on this people for their idolatry, may learn to shun it; it is even an instruction to us, at this distance, not to commit idolatry, as they did, ( 1 Corinthians 10:7 1 Corinthians 10:11 ) . The church of Rome ought to observe this.

Ezekiel 23:48 In-Context

46 Car ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Je ferai monter contre elles une multitude, Et je les livrerai à la terreur et au pillage.

47 Cette multitude les lapidera, Et les abattra à coups d'épée; On tuera leurs fils et leurs filles, On brûlera leurs maisons par le feu.

48 Je ferai cesser ainsi le crime dans le pays; Toutes les femmes recevront instruction, Et ne commettront pas de crime comme le vôtre.

49 On fera retomber votre crime sur vous, Et vous porterez les péchés de vos idoles. Et vous saurez que je suis le Seigneur, l'Eternel.
