Ezekiel 16:40 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:40

They shall also bring up a company against thee
An army, so the Targum; the Chaldean army: and they shall stone thee with stones:
cast out of their engines and slings, by which they battered the walls, as well as killed the inhabitants; and so the Targum renders it, with sling stones; the allusion is to the stoning of adulterous persons, ( Deuteronomy 22:24 ) ( John 8:5 ) ; and thrust thee through with their swords;
such as attempted to escape out of the city, or fell into the hands of the enemy when it was taken, were slain with the sword.

Ezekiel 16:40 In-Context

38 I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

39 I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall leave you naked and bare.

40 They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.

41 They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.

42 So will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
