Ezekiel 16:39 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This particularly describes the manner in which God will do what he threatens. I will give thee, as a judge delivers the condemned into the hand of the executioner. Their hand; power and exasperated rage. Throw down, undermine and utterly ruin, thine eminent place; thy idol temples, and thy stews: see Ezekiel 16:24,31. Shall break down; the same in other terms. They shall strip thee: it is opprobrium to a man to be stripped, more to a woman; this Jewish adulteress shall be stripped, that her nakedness appear. God's undeserved love covered her nakedness, Ezekiel 16:8, his just displeasure will now discover her nakedness. Thy fair jewels: see Ezekiel 16:17.

Ezekiel 16:39

39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fairl jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
