Contextual Overview

³⁶ The Lord said to me, "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Make them know their sinful acts. ³⁷ For they have not been faithful to Me, and blood is on their hands. They have left Me for their false gods. And they gave their sons to these false gods as burnt gifts, the sons they had given to Me at birth. ³⁸ That is not all they did. At that same time they have not kept My holy place and My Days of Rest holy. ³⁹ When they had killed their children for their false gods, they went into My holy place on the same day to make it unclean. This is what they did within My house. ⁴⁰ They even sent for men who came from far away. And when they came, you washed yourselves, colored your eyes, and put on beautiful objects for them. ⁴¹ You sat on a beautiful seat with a table made ready in front of it on which you had set My special perfume and My oil. ⁴² The sound of a group free of care was around you. Men who drank too much were brought from the desert with men who were not important. They put beautiful objects on the women's hands and beautiful crowns on their heads. ⁴³ Then I said about the one who was worn out by sex sins, ‘Will they now lie with her when she is this way?' ⁴⁴ But they went in to her as they would go in to a woman who sells the use of her body. So they went in to Oholah and Oholibah, the sinful women. ⁴⁵ But men who are right and good will punish them as women are punished who do sex sins and kill, because they are sinful women and blood is on their hands.

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.
