📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet speaking to the Jewish exiles in Babylon around the 6th century BC, using vivid metaphors to condemn Jerusalem's unfaithfulness to God through idolatry and moral corruption. In this chapter, God compares Jerusalem to an adulterous wife, pointing out that its sins were even worse than those of neighboring nations like Sodom and Samaria. This verse highlights the escalating judgment on Judah for not only mimicking but exceeding the abominations of others, amid the broader historical context of impending exile and divine discipline.
