Ezekiel 23:34

_ _ break ... sherds — So greedily shalt thou suck out every drop like one drinking to madness (the effect invariably ascribed to drinking God’s cup of wrath, Jeremiah 51:7; Habakkuk 2:16) that thou shalt crunch the very shreds of it; that is, there shall be no evil left which thou shalt not taste.

_ _ pluck off thine own breasts — enraged against them as the ministers to thine adultery.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 23:22-35.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 23:34

Thou — Shalt stagger with sorrows, that shall intoxicate, and astonish. Suck it out — The dregs shalt thou drink, and multiply thine own sorrows. Break the sheards — To suck out what remains. And pluck — Revenging thyself upon thyself.
