Ezequiel 16:38

38 Te castigaré por tus homicidios y tu adulterio. En mi celosa furia te cubriré con sangre.

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 Esto dice el Señor
Soberano: por haber derramado tus deseos lujuriosos y haberte desnudado como prostituta ante tus amantes y por haber rendido culto a ídolos detestables
y masacrado a tus hijos en sacrificio a tus dioses,

37 ahora yo actuaré en consecuencia. Reuniré a todos tus aliados —los amantes con los que has pecado, tanto los que amaste como los que odiaste— y te desnudaré delante de ellos para que vean tu desnudez.

38 Te castigaré por tus homicidios y tu adulterio. En mi celosa furia te cubriré con sangre.

39 Luego te entregaré a todas esas naciones que son tus amantes y ellas te destruirán. Derrumbarán tus santuarios paganos y los altares de tus ídolos. Te arrancarán la ropa, se llevarán tus hermosas joyas y te dejarán completamente desnuda.

40 Juntas formarán una turba violenta para apedrearte y despedazarte con espadas.
