And I also will give thee into their hand, &c.] Into the hand of their lovers and enemies that should be gathered against them, the Assyrians and Chaldeans, with others that joined them, as in (<261637>Ezekiel 16:37); and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thine high places; the city of Jerusalem, the temple, and altars; and not only these, but even the high places and altars which were set up for idolatrous uses; all should be destroyed by the Chaldean army. The Targum is, “and they shall destroy thy walls, and thy high places shall be destroyed:” they shall strip thee also of thy clothes; as persons commonly are when taken captives: and shall take thy fair jewels; or, “the vessels of thy glory”f232; the vessels of the sanctuary of gold and silver, and their own household furniture, with all their riches and substance: and leave thee naked and bare; as at first when in Egypt; (see <261607>Ezekiel 16:7).
