32 “VocĂȘ, mulher adĂșltera! Prefere estranhos ao seu prĂłprio marido!

Ezequiel 16:32 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:32

[But as] a wife that committeth adultery
Who has a husband, and is provided for with all the necessaries of life, with food and clothing; and so has no need to prostitute herself for a livelihood, as common strumpets do; but does it purely for the satiating of her lust: and such were the people of the Jews, they were married to the Lord, who took care of them, and provided everything for them, and acted the part of a husband to them; so that it was the weakness of their hearts, and the strength of their corruptions, which led them to depart from him, and commit idolatry; which in them was adultery, while the sin of the Gentiles was as simple fornication: [which] taketh strangers instead of her husband;
that takes other men into her bed instead of her husband, not for the sake of gain, but lust; and this was the case of the Jews, who were a wicked people, an idolatrous generation; who took strange gods to worship instead of the true God, who had been a husband to them, ( Jeremiah 31:32 ) .

Ezequiel 16:32 In-Context

30 “Como vocĂȘ tem pouca força de vontade, palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR, quando vocĂȘ faz todas essas coisas, agindo como uma prostituta descarada!
31 Quando construĂ­a os seus altares idĂłlatras em cada esquina e fazia seus santuĂĄrios elevados em cada praça pĂșblica, vocĂȘ sĂł nĂŁo foi como prostituta porque desprezou o pagamento.
32 “VocĂȘ, mulher adĂșltera! Prefere estranhos ao seu prĂłprio marido!
33 Toda prostituta recebe pagamento, mas vocĂȘ dĂĄ presentes a todos os seus amantes, subornando-os para que venham de todos os lugares receber de vocĂȘ os seus favores ilĂ­citos.
34 Em sua prostituição dĂĄ-se o contrĂĄrio do que acontece com outras mulheres; ninguĂ©m corre atrĂĄs de vocĂȘ em busca dos seus favores. VocĂȘ Ă© o oposto, pois vocĂȘ faz o pagamento e nada recebe.
