Ezekiel 23:49

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you,.... Or, "give your lewdness" ; 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.
