Just to be clear:
The passage in Ezekiel 23 is a metaphor for Samaria and Jerusalem engaging in foreign alliances.
The passages in Ezekiel 4 show God rescinding a punishment.
In the passage from 1 Kings, ‘pisseth against the wall’ is an idiom for ‘men’. No actual piss is involved.
The passage from Malachi about smearing dung on faces is an expression meaning ‘disgraced’, in much the same sense that referring to a drunk person as ‘shitfaced’ doesn’t require actual shit on an actual face.
It helpful to read entire chapters, not just verses.
