What Does Ezekiel 23:13 Mean?
The prophet's sight pierces both visible reality and spiritual truth: the South's deflement is observable because she follows the same trajectory as the North. 'Both one way' emphasizes the parallel unfaithfulness despite different timelines.
Neither kingdom learned from the other's mistake; both pursued the same false security in foreign alliances and idolatry, demonstrating how covenant-breaking becomes a generational pattern.
