Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 16:38-40

_ _ judge thee, as women that break wedlock — (Leviticus 20:10; compare Ezekiel 16:2). In the case of individual adulteresses, stoning was the penalty (John 8:4, John 8:5). In the case of communities, the sword. Also apostasy (Deuteronomy 13:10) and sacrificing children to Molech (Leviticus 20:1-5) incurred stoning. Thus the penalty was doubly due to Israel; so the other which was decreed against an apostate city (Deuteronomy 13:15, Deuteronomy 13:16) is added, “they shall stone thee with stones and thrust thee through with ... swords.” The Chaldeans hurled stones on Jerusalem at the siege and slew with the sword on its capture.

_ _ shed blood ... judged — (Genesis 9:6).

_ _ jealousy — image taken from the fury of a husband in jealousy shedding the blood of an unfaithful wife, such as Israel had been towards God, her husband spiritually. Literally, “I will make thee (to become) blood of fury and jealousy.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 16:35-43.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Blood — Thou gavest the blood of thy children to idols in sacrifice; I will give thee thine own blood to drink.
