EZEKIEL CHAPTER 16
Under the similitude of a helpless exposed infant is represented the original state of Jerusalem, Eze_16:1-5; whom God is described to have bred up, married, and treated with kind indulgence, Eze_16:6-14. Her unnatural whoredoms, Eze_16:15-34. God threateneth her with severe judgment, Eze_16:35-43. Her sin, equal to her mother’s, the Hittite, and exceeding that of her sisters’, Sodom and Samaria, shall not go unpunished, Eze_16:44-59. A promise of mercy in the end, Eze_16:60-63.
Again, Heb. And, frequently and properly enough rendered as here, again, not pointing out any particular time wherein it came to the prophet.
The word of the Lord came unto me; both commanding and directing him what to speak; and it is a very elegant description of God’s dealing with the Jews, and their carriage toward God; his dealing was kindness and tender compassion in the most unparalleled expressions of it toward the Jews, theirs to God was the most unthankful, undutiful, and rebelious.
