What Does Ezekiel 23:9 Mean?
Divine judgment takes the form of poetic justice: the very powers Aholah trusted and doted upon became instruments of her downfall. God delivered her into their hands—not as protection, but as judgment.
This illustrates a spiritual principle: when trust is placed in powers other than God, those false supports ultimately cannot sustain or protect.
