Ezekiel 23:25
direct <05414> [I will set.]
cut off <05493> [they shall take away.]
This refers to the severe vengeance which enraged husbands took on their faithless wives: and implies that God would employ the Chaldeans to destroy the princes and priests of Judah, for violating their covenants and treaties. Such punishments were anciently common; and such is the present practice in one of the South Sea Islands.
seize ... sons <03947 01121> [they shall take thy.]
survivors ................ survivors <0319> [thy residue.]
