Ezekiel 23

Commentary

Ezekiel 23 is a powerful and graphic portrayal of God’s judgment against the unfaithfulness of his people. The vivid language and imagery used to describe the sisters' sin and punishment illustrates the depth of the offense committed. The chapter also emphasizes God’s unwavering justice and righteousness, and serves as a warning to those who would turn away from him. It reveals the consequences of disobedience and the importance of remaining faithful to God’s covenant. Despite the harsh tone of this chapter, it ultimately points to a God who desires restoration and redemption for his people, even in the midst of their rebellion.
