Ezechiele 23:15
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #147
147. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 24
1-2 The end of the church among the Jewish nation. (3)
3-5 Through the Word truths together with goods have been given them, also the Divine presence. (2)
6-8 They are filthy by reason of the adulteration and profanation of truth and good. (2)
9-12 The Lord has labored with all His might, that they might grow better, (2)
13 but it could not be done; (2)
14 therefore they will die in their profanities.3
15-17 Everything of the church will be taken away from them, and yet there will be no grief on that account. (3)
18-19 This will take place when the Lord comes into the world. (1, 3, 1)
20-23 Then He will destroy all the worship of that church, and there will be no grief on that account. (1, 13)
24-27 When the Lord comes, those who will be led to the new church will be instructed. (1, 11, 3)
Ezekiel 23:14-17
14
And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,
15
Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
16
And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
