יחזקאל, פרק כ״ג, פסוק ל׳

A severe judgment is pronounced against Judah, directly linking her impending downfall to a history of deep spiritual and political betrayal. The harsh punishments awaiting the nation will undoubtedly be carried out against them [רש״י], serving as the absolute and direct consequence of their own misconduct [רד״ק, ביאור שטיינזלץ, מלבי״ם].

This tragic downfall stems from two distinct forms of unfaithfulness [מלבי״ם]. The first is a profound political and spiritual betrayal. Instead of placing their trust in God, the people sought security by relying on foreign powers, such as turning to Egypt for assistance [מלבי״ם]. This dangerous closeness between Judah's leadership and foreign kingdoms went beyond diplomacy; it served as a gateway for deep moral corruption to spread throughout the nation [ביאור שטיינזלץ].

The second reason for the impending punishment is the active participation in idol worship. The nation defiled itself by fully embracing the false gods of their foreign allies. They did not merely form political treaties; they adopted the idols of these nations, worshipped them, and actively imitated their abominable practices [מלבי״ם, ביאור שטיינזלץ].
