Ezekiel 23:45 - Exposition

The righteous men are in effect the ministers of God's wrath. The doom comes at last on both the sisters, who are murderers as well as adulteresses. They shall suffer the punishment of stoning which the Law commanded (Le Ezekiel 20:10 ; Deuteronomy 22:22 , Deuteronomy 22:24 ; John 8:5 ), and after that their bodies were to be hacked to pieces. The result of that judgment would be that all women should learn not to do after their lewdness, i.e. that idolatry should cease from being the sin of the cities of Israel.
