The prophet reproves the adulteries of them both 45. and shows their judgments The sound of a carefree crowd was around her This phrase paints a vivid picture of a scene filled with revelry and indulgence. The Hebrew word for "carefree" (שָׁאֲנָן, sha'anan) suggests a sense of false security and complacency. Historically, this reflects the moral and spiritual decay of the people, who were more concerned with pleasure than with righteousness. The "crowd" indicates a gathering, possibly for a feast or celebration, which in the context of Ezekiel, often symbolizes idolatrous practices and alliances with pagan nations. Sabeans were brought from the desert along with men from the rabble and they put bracelets on the wrists of the women and beautiful crowns on their heads Men of the common sort is better rendered in the margin, the multitude of men; and "Sabeans" is not a proper name, but, as in the margin, drunkards. They are represented as from the wilderness, not as their home, but as the region through which they passed in marching to Judaea. The whole sense of the verse is that the conquerors attacking the land were satisfied with heavy tribute, and having received this, many of the warriors gave themselves up to drunkenness and debauchery, decking out their tributary with meretricious ornaments. . . . Verse 42. - A voice of a multitude, etc. The word for "multitude" is strictly tumult, and Keil and Currey render, The voice of tumult became still," sc. the threats of the alien powers whom Judah courted were for a time hushed by the tributes thus paid to them. With the men of the common sort; literally, as in the margin, of the multitude of men. Sabeans from the wilderness. The Revised Version, with Keil and almost all recent commentators, follows the margin, drunkards (LXX., οἰνώμενοι). "Sabeans" rests on a Jewish rendering of the text, but, as a people, the Sabeans, who dwelt south of Meroe, though named in Isaiah 45:14, were too remote to come within the horizon of the parable. What Ezekiel dwells on is the ever-growing degradation of the harlot city. Not only the officers of the Chaldeans, but the mixed multitude, the very drunkards from the wilderness of Babylon, were admitted to her embraces. Possibly the word may point to the false gods to whom libations of wine were offered, but I incline to refer it rather to those who got drunk at their idol-festivals even in Jerusalem. Drunkenness was one of the vices of the Babylonians, and the prophets, who admired the Rechabites and the Nazarites (Jeremiah 35; Amos 2:11), must have looked on Judah's participation in that sin as a measureless degradation. The bracelets and crowns symbolize the wealth and prestige which the Chaldean alliance was supposed to bring with it.Parallel Commentaries ...
