And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
The crowd will stone them to death and cut them down with swords. They'll kill their children and burn their houses to the ground.
When you betray what's sacred, the consequences come for everything you hold dear.
📚 Historical Context
In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet uses a vivid allegory of two sisters, representing the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah, to illustrate their spiritual unfaithfulness through idolatry and alliances with pagan nations. This verse describes the severe judgment God pronounced against them, symbolizing the real historical invasions that would bring destruction. Historically, this prophecy was fulfilled during the Babylonian conquest around 586 BC, when Jerusalem was destroyed and many were exiled.
