Ezekiel 16:54 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Thou mayest; thou shalt, so the Hebrew, as well as mayest. Shame; punishment for offences is ever reproachful, and some punishments are more so than others. Such shall the Jews punishments be. Confounded; some offenders are hardened to an insensibleness of shame, but God will make these Jews to feel the smart, and blush under the shame of their punishments. In all that thou hast done; for all the wickednesses from which the punishments of Sodom and Samaria should have deterred them, for imitating and outdoing them. A comfort; encouraging sinners like those of Sodom and Samaria, and being fellow sufferers with them in as great, or greater, judgments.

Ezekiel 16:54

54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
