Ezekiel 23:34 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

Thou shalt break the sherds thereof - so greedily shalt thou suck out every drop, like one drinking to madness (the effect invariably ascribed to drinking God's cup of wrath, Jeremiah 51:7; Habakkuk 2:16), that thou shalt craunch the very sherds of it - i:e., there shall be no evil left which thou shalt not taste.

And pluck off thine own breast - enraged against them as the ministers to thine adultery.

Ezekiel 23:34

34 Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
