This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They; that company mentioned Eze_16:40.
Shall burn thine houses; as harlots and idolaters were to be punished; intimating also the burning Jerusalem, the temple and houses in it, as 2Ki_25:9 2Ch_36:19.
Execute, as God’s instruments to do his will, and also as men that satisfy their own rage, judgments, all kind of cruelty,
upon thee, O Jerusalem, and thine inhabitants, in the sight of many women; the people that were gathered to besiege, take, and spoil Jerusalem, and the daughters thereof. I
will cause thee: it is not said how this shall be done, whether by changing their minds, or by utterly ruining them; but this shall be done: this is the effect of the Divine judgments.
From playing the harlot; from idolatry, and adulteries, which attend it.
Thou also, who hast been so lavish and inclined to this course, shalt give no hire any more; so poor, thou canst not, or so changed, that thou wilt no more, hire paramours to come in to thee.
