1. Under the parable of a wretched infant is shown the natural state of Jerusalem
6. God's extraordinary love toward her,
15. Her grievous judgment
35. Her sin, equal to her mother,
46. and exceeding her sisters, Sodom and Samaria,

You will bear the consequences
This phrase underscores the principle of divine justice and accountability. In Hebrew, the word for "bear" (נָשָׂא, nasa) often implies carrying a burden or responsibility. Theologically, this reflects the biblical concept that actions have consequences, a theme prevalent throughout Scripture. The Israelites, having turned away from God, are reminded that their choices lead to inevitable outcomes. This serves as a timeless reminder for believers to live righteously, understanding that God’s justice is both fair and inevitable.

of your lewdness
The term "lewdness" (זִמָּה, zimmah) in Hebrew conveys a sense of moral corruption and depravity. Historically, this word is often associated with idolatry and sexual immorality, which were rampant in ancient Israel and Judah. The prophets frequently used such language to describe the spiritual adultery of the people, who had forsaken their covenant with God. This phrase calls believers to examine their own lives for any form of spiritual unfaithfulness, urging a return to holiness and purity.

and abominations
The word "abominations" (תּוֹעֵבָה, toebah) is used in the Old Testament to describe practices that are detestable to God, often linked to idolatry and pagan rituals. In the context of Ezekiel, it highlights the severity of Israel's sins, which included adopting the detestable practices of surrounding nations. For contemporary readers, this serves as a caution against conforming to worldly standards that contradict God’s commands, emphasizing the need for discernment and faithfulness.

declares the LORD
This phrase affirms the authority and certainty of the message. The Hebrew word for "declares" (נְאֻם, neum) is often used in prophetic literature to introduce a divine pronouncement. It assures the audience that the message comes directly from God, who is sovereign and just. For believers, this is a reminder of the reliability and truth of God’s Word, encouraging trust and obedience in His declarations. The phrase also emphasizes that God’s pronouncements are not merely historical but have ongoing relevance and authority in the lives of His people.

Verse 58. - Thou hast borne, etc. Judah, i.e., had received the full measure of its punishments. The righteousness of God had been adequately vindicated. And so, if the punishment led to repentances, there was room for pardon (compare for the thought, Isaiah 40:2).
