Ezekiel 23:28 — Meaning and Application

They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. {fair...: Heb. instruments of thy decking}

Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom {brought} from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand {of them} whom thou hatest, into the hand {of them} from whom thy mind is alienated:

And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

I will do these {things} unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, {and} because thou art polluted with their idols.
