Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Ezekiel 16:39

John Gill, on Ezek 16:39

John Gill · 1697–1771
Ezek 16:39 · Douay-Rheims
“And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace.”
On this verse:
“They shall also bring up a company against thee,.... An army, so the Targum; the Chaldean army: and they shall stone thee with stones: cast out of their engines and slings, by which they battered the walls, as well as killed the inhabitants; and so the Targum renders it, with sling stones; the allusion is to the stoning of adulterous persons, Deu 22:24; and thrust thee through with their swords; such as attempted to escape out of the city, or fell into the hands of the enemy when it was taken, were slain with the sword.”
