Ezekiel 16:16
deckedst . . . with divers colours—or, "didst make . . . of divers colors" [FAIRBAIRN]; the metaphor and the literal are here mixed. The high places whereon they sacrificed to Astarte are here compared to tents of divers colors, which an impudent harlot would spread to show her house was open to all [CALVIN]. Compare as to "woven hangings for Astarte" (the right translation for "grove") II Kings 23:7.
the like . . . shall not come, neither shall . . . be—rather, "have not come, nor shall be." These thy doings are unparalleled in the past, and shall be so in the future.
