También te entregaré en manos de tus amantes y ellos derribarán tus santuarios, destruirán tus lugares altos, te despojarán de tus vestidos, te quitarán tus bellas joyas y te dejarán desnuda y descubierta.
Y te entregar en mano de ellos; y destruirn tus lugares altos, y derribarn tus altares, y te despojarn de tus ropas, y se llevarn tus hermosas joyas, y te dejarn desnuda y descubierta.
Y te entregar en mano de ellos; y destruirn tu alto, y derribarn tus altares, y te harn desnudar de tus ropas, y se llevarn los vasos de tu gloria, y te dejarn desnuda y descubierta.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
And I: For the enormous idolatries and cruelties of Judah and Jerusalem, Jehovah determined to gather together the surrounding nations, both those with whom they had formed alliances, as the Egyptians and Assyrians, and such as had always been inimical to them, as Edom, Ammon, Moab, and Philistia, to inflict, or to witness, his judgments upon them. Having exposed their enormous crimes to view, He would pass sentence upon them: He would give Jerusalem into the hands of the Chaldeans, who would destroy the city and temple which they had polluted; level their cities and high places with the ground; slay, plunder, and enslave the people.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I also will give thee into their hand,.... Into the hand of their lovers and enemies that should be gathered against them, the Assyrians and Chaldeans, with others that joined them, as in
Ezekiel 16:37;
and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thine high places; the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and altars; and not only these, but even the high places and altars which were set up for idolatrous uses; all should be destroyed by the Chaldean army. The Targum is,
"and they shall destroy thy walls, and thy high places shall be destroyed:''
they shall strip thee also of thy clothes; as persons commonly are when taken captives:
and shall take thy fair jewels; or, "the vessels of thy glory" s; the vessels of the sanctuary of gold and silver, and their own household furniture, with all their riches and substance:
and leave thee naked and bare; as at first when in Egypt; see
Ezekiel 16:7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Judah is now represented as undergoing the punishment adjudged to an adulteress and murderess. Only in her utter destruction shall the wrath of the Lord, the jealous God, cease.
Ezekiel 16:36
Filthiness - Or, brass, i. e., money, is lavished. The Hebrews generally speak of money as gold Isaiah 46:6, but brass coins were not unknown in the time of the Maccabees. Compare Matthew 10:9; Mark 12:41. Ezekiel may here have put brass for gold contemptuously. Compare Isaiah 1:22-25; Isaiah 48:10.
Ezekiel 16:38
I will give thee blood in fury - Rather, “I will make thee a bloody sacrifice to fury and jealousy.” By the Law of Moses, death was the penalty for murder Exodus 21:12, and for adultery (Leviticus 20:10; e. g., by stoning, Ezekiel 16:40). The circumstances of the siege of Jerusalem corresponded with the punishment of the adulteress; the company gathered around her were the surrounding armies, the fury of the jealous husband was the fury of the attacking army, the stripping off her ornaments was the rapine of the siege, the stoning the battering-rams, the bloody death being the slaughter in the battle.
Ezekiel 16:42
So ... rest - Or, “My fury shall not rest until thou art utterly ruined.”
Ezekiel 16:43
Thou shalt not ... abominations - Others render it: “I will not do wickedly because of all thine etc.” i. e., by allowing jerusalem to remain unpunished
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 16:39. They shall strip thee also of thy clothes - thy fair jewels — Alluding to a lot common enough to prostitutes, their maintainers in the end stripping them of all they had given them.
