EZEKIEL—NOTE ON Ezekiel 16:1 Chapter Ezekiel 16:1 includes brutal violence and shocking sexual language. It shows that the infidelity of Jerusalem has brought upon it the just punishment of God. In no way does it justify any human punishment of adultery. Verses Ezekiel 16:1 follow the story of the abandoned child who became a bride; vv. Ezekiel 16:44 broaden the “family” to include two “sisters,” Samaria and Sodom; and vv. Ezekiel 16:59 conclude both parts.
