Ezekiel 23:34
Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel 23:34 belongs to a chapter that exposes the fearful sins of Judah and Israel and presents the consequences of their unfaithfulness. It stands within Ezekiel 16 to 32 as part of the rebuke of the apostasy of Judah and Israel, showing sin in its awful wickedness, while God earnestly pleads with His children to turn to Him. Samaria and Jerusalem are pictured as adulterous women who turned from their covenant with God and doted on foreign powers, including the Assyrians and Babylonians. A corrupt woman stands for a corrupt church, set against a pure woman standing for a true church.
The adultery figures spiritual apostasy, turning from the worship of God to idolatrous or false religious associations. That turning included forsaking Him to seek help from Egypt, which was rebellion, and doting on Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon. Their unfaithfulness pictures the church's friendship with the world and rejection of God's precepts. The verse is part of God's unpleasant, unflattering rebuke announcing judgment for disobedience and rebellion. That judgment was fulfilled in Babylon's assault on Jerusalem and what came upon Israel for disobedience.
The same guilt belongs to professed Christian churches today that seek union with the civil power. God has furnished fullness of blessing in Jesus Christ, demands all from His church, and will not divide His glory with another. The fornication language does not refer to a church using civil laws to manage temporal matters. The specific details of the drinking, sucking out, breaking the sherds, and plucking off the breasts are not explained.
