SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:8
Y pasé yo junto a ti, y te miré, y he aquí que tu tiempo era tiempo de amores; y extendí mi manto sobre ti, y cubrí tus vergí¼enzas; y te di juramento, y entré en pacto contigo, dijo el Señor DIOS, y fuiste mía;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 16:8
Verse 8. Was the time of love] Thou wast marriageable. I spread my skirt over thee] I espoused thee. This was one of their initiatory marriage ceremonies. See Ruth iii. 9.
I-entered into a covenant with thee] Married thee. Espousing preceded marriage.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Jerusalem like an unfruitful vine.
If a vine be fruitful, it is valuable. But if not fruitful, it is worthless and useless, it is cast into the fire. Thus man is capable of yielding a precious fruit, in living to God; this is the sole end of his existence; and if he fails in this, he is of no use but to be destroyed. What blindness then attaches to those who live in the tota neglect of God and of true religion! This similitude is applied to Jerusalem. Let us beware of an unfruitful profession. Let us come to Christ, and seek to abide in him, and to have his words abide in us __________________________________________________________________
