Contextual Overview

³⁶ The Lord said: Ezekiel, son of man, it's time for you to tell Oholah and Oholibah that they are guilty. Remind them of their evil ways! ³⁷ They have been unfaithful by worshiping idols, and they have committed murder by sacrificing my own children as offerings to idols. ³⁸They came into my temple that same day, and that made it unfit as a place to worship me. They have even stopped respecting the Sabbath. ⁴⁰ They sent messengers to attract men from far away. When those men arrived, the two sisters took baths and put on eye shadow and jewelry. ⁴¹ They sat on a fancy couch, and in front of them was a table for the olive oil and incense that had belonged to me. ⁴² Their room was always filled with a noisy crowd of drunkards brought in from the desert. These men gave the women bracelets and beautiful crowns, ⁴³ and I noticed that the men were eager to have sex with these women, though they were exhausted from being prostitutes. ⁴⁴ In fact, the men had sex over and over with Oholah and Oholibah, the two sinful sisters. ⁴⁵ But good men will someday accuse those two of murder and of being unfaithful, because they are certainly guilty. ⁴⁶ So I, the Lord God, now say to these sisters: I will call together an angry mob that will abuse and rob you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you,.... Or, "give your lewdness" q; the punishment of it; the just recompence of reward for their idolatry:

and ye shall bear the sins of your idols; the shame, and guilt, and punishment of their sins committed in worshipping idols:

and ye shall know that I am the Lord God; the only Lord God who is to be worshipped, and not idols; jealous of my honour and glory, and true to my word; who can and will accomplish all I have said; this the Jews knew and acknowledged when in captivity, and returned from it, as they will more fully when they shall be converted in the latter day.

q ונתנו זמתכנה "et dabunt scelus vestrum", V. L. Montanus, Cocceius, Starckius.
