Ezekiel 16:26 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Ezekiel 16:26

24 that ^ayou also built for yourself a shrine, and ^bmade a high place for yourself in every street.

25 You built your high places ^aat the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry.

26 You also committed harlotry with ^athe Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to ^bprovoke Me to anger.

27 “Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your¹ allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, ^athe daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.

28 You also played the harlot with the ^aAssyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.
