Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Ezekiel 16:36

John Gill, on Ezek 16:36

John Gill · 1697–1771
Ezek 16:36 · Douay-Rheims
“Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy shame discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with the idols of thy abominations, by the blood of thy children whom thou gavest them:”
On this verse:
“Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure,.... Or, "with whom thou hast mixed" (r); in unlawful embraces, joined in sinful alliances, or in idolatrous practices: and all them that thou hast loved; the Egyptians and Assyrians, whose friendship and idolatrous customs they were fond of: with all them that thou hast hated; as the Philistines, Moabites, and Ammonites: I will even gather them round about against thee; as they were in the Chaldean army, which consisted of many nations: and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness; as a just retaliation for discovering it herself, as in Eze 16:36; than which nothing can be more disagreeable to the sex. The Milesian virgins were restrained from suicide by a law, which ordered that such should be drawn naked through the market place. This is to be understood of the spoiling of the city and temple. (r) "quibus commixtuisti cum illis", Starckius.”
