Ezekiel 23:49

49 And they shall give your great trespass on you; and ye shall bear the sins of your idols, and ye shall know, that I am the Lord God. (And ye shall be punished for your great trespass, and for your sin of worshipping idols, and ye shall know, that I am the Lord God.)

Ezekiel 23:49 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:49

And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you
Or, "give your lewdness" F17; the punishment of it; the just recompence of reward for their idolatry: and ye shall bear the sins of your idols;
the shame, and guilt, and punishment of their sins committed in worshipping idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord God;
the only Lord God who is to be worshipped, and not idols; jealous of my honour and glory, and true to my word; who can and will accomplish all I have said; this the Jews knew and acknowledged when in captivity, and returned from it, as they will more fully when they shall be converted in the latter day.

47 and be they stoned with the stones of (the) peoples, and be they sticked together with the swords of them. They shall slay the sons and the daughters of them, and they shall burn with fire the houses of them (They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and they shall burn down their houses).
48 And I shall do away great trespass from the land; and all women shall learn, that they do not after the great trespass of them. (And so I shall do away great trespass from the land; and all women shall learn, that they should not do, or should not follow, after their great trespasses.)
