Ezekiel 23:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:10

These discovered her wickedness
That is, stripped them of all their substance: they took her sons and her daughters;
and carried them captive: and slew her with the sword;
put an end to the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes, and which was never recovered to this day: and she became famous among women;
or among the provinces, as the Targum; she became famous, or rather infamous, among other nations; was talked of for her sins, her whoredoms and idolatries, and the vengeance of God upon her for them; she became a byword and a proverb among the kingdoms of the world for her wickedness and her destruction: for they had executed judgment upon her;
that is, the Assyrians, who were the instruments in God's hand in doing justice to her, and inflicting his judgments on her, and for that she became famous.

Ezekiel 23:10 In-Context

8 Elle n'a pas renoncĂ© Ă  ses prostitutions d'Égypte; car ils avaient dĂ©shonorĂ© sa jeunesse, flĂ©tri son sein virginal, et rĂ©pandu sur elle la souillure.
9 C'est pourquoi je l'ai livrée aux mains de ses amants, aux mains des enfants d'Assur, dont elle s'était éprise.
10 Ils ont dĂ©couvert sa nuditĂ©; ils ont enlevĂ© ses fils et ses filles, et l'ont fait pĂ©rir elle-mĂȘme par l'Ă©pĂ©e. Elle est devenue fameuse parmi les femmes, aprĂšs les jugements exercĂ©s sur elle.
11 Sa sƓur Oholiba avait vu cela; nĂ©anmoins elle fut plus dĂ©rĂ©glĂ©e encore dans sa passion, et dans ses prostitutions elle a fait pire que sa sƓur.
12 Elle s'Ă©prit des enfants d'Assur, gouverneurs et seigneurs, ses voisins, magnifiquement vĂȘtus, cavaliers montĂ©s sur des coursiers, tous beaux jeunes hommes.
