Ezekiel 23:48

Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

Ver. 48. Thus will I cause lewdness to cease.] Thus, if it may be done no otherwise. Thus still, if men will not mend by fair means, they are taken away by death, that they may sin no more.

That all women may be taught.] That all cities and states may hear, and fear, and do no more so.
