Ezequiel 16:39

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.

Ezequiel 16:39 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:39

And I also will give thee into their hand
Into the hand of their lovers and enemies that should be gathered against them, the Assyrians and Chaldeans, with others that joined them, as in ( Ezekiel 16:37 ) ; and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down
thine high places;
the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and altars; and not only these, but even the high places and altars which were set up for idolatrous uses; all should be destroyed by the Chaldean army. The Targum is,

``and they shall destroy thy walls, and thy high places shall be destroyed:''

they shall strip thee also of thy clothes;
as persons commonly are when taken captives: and shall take thy fair jewels;
or, "the vessels of thy glory" ^F19; the vessels of the sanctuary of gold and silver, and their own household furniture, with all their riches and substance: and leave thee naked and bare;
as at first when in Egypt; see ( Ezekiel 16:7 ) .

Ezequiel 16:39 In-Context

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.

41 Quemarán tus casas y te castigarán frente a muchas mujeres. Yo pondré fin a tu prostitución y haré que no les pagues más a tus numerosos amantes.
