Ezekiel 16:39
And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
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
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
