Women in Ezekiel

  1. God sends a "man clothed with linen" to mark the foreheads of the men who will be saved. Apparently only men are considered good enough to keep, the others (unmarked men, "maids", little children, and women) are to be slaughtered. God says he'll "fill the courts with the slain" and will have pity on no one. 9:4-10

  2. "Woe to the woman that sew pillows ... Behold, I am against your pillows." (God likes neither woman nor pillows.) 13:18-21

  3. God dresses up Jerusalem, cleans off the blood that she was wallowing in, and compliments her on her nice hair and breasts. 16:6-7, 22

  4. Jerusalem was a harlot who had sex with everyone that passed by. 16:15-16

  5. "Thou hast ... madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them." 16:17

  6. "Thou ... hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by." 16:25

  7. "Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh." (Jerusalem had sex with Egyptians with big penises.) 16:26

  8. Jerusalem still wasn't satisfied after having sex with the well-endowed Egyptians (v.26), so she had sex with the Assyrians too. Yet she still wasn't satisfied. So she had sex with the men of Canaan and Chaldea, but still was not satisfied. 16:28-29

  9. God calls Jerusalem "an imperious whorish woman." 16:30

  10. God says that Jerusalem has sex with strangers, hiring them to "come in unto thee on every side." 16:32-33

  11. Because she is such a filthy harlot, God will expose her nakedness before all of her lovers. 16:35-36

  12. After exposing her nakedness, God will give her "blood in fury and jealousy" and strip her naked once more. 16:38-41

  13. A good man never gets near a menstruating woman. 18:5-6

  14. Information from God about discovering the nakedness of fathers, committing adultery with neighbor's wives, sex with menstruating women, daughters-in-law, sisters, etc. 22:1-11

  15. Two sisters were guilty of "committing whoredoms" by pressing their breasts and bruising "the teats of their virginity." As a punishment, one sister's nakedness was discovered, her children were taken from her, and she was killed by the sword. And the fate of the surviving sister was even worse: Her nose and ears were cut off, she was made to "pluck off" her own breasts, and then after being raped and mutilated, she is stoned to death. 23:1-49

  16. God kills Ezekiel's wife and then tells him not to mourn her. 24:15-18

  17. God says he will destroy Tyrus. He plans to kill everyone, but he is especially looking forward to killing all of the women. "And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD." 26:1-21

  18. In condemning Israel God says, "their way was before me as the uncleanliness of a removed woman." 36:16-17
