The Prophet Ezekiel: An Analytical Exposition
Gaebelein, Arno Clemens
Bible. Ezekiel -- Commentaries
every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and
hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy
whoredoms. Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians
thy neighbors, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to
provoke me to anger. Behold, therefore, I have stretched out my hand
over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered
thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the
Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way. Thou hast played the
whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea,
thou hast played the harlot with them, and couldest not be
satisfied. Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land
of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all
these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; in that thou
buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest
thine high place in every street; and hast not been as a harlot, in
that thou scornest hire; but as a wife that committeth adultery,
which taketh strangers instead of her husband! They give gifts to
all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest
them, that they may come unto thee on every side of thy whoredom.
And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms,
whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou
givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou
art contrary (verses 15-34).
