Ezekiel 16:36
Compare all
34 You are the opposite of other women in your harlotry, because no one solicited you to be a harlot. In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite.”

Jerusalem’s Lovers Will Abuse Her

35 ‘Now then, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord!
36 Thus says the Lord God: “Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of athe blood of your children which you gave to them,  
37 surely, therefore, aI will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.  
38 And I will judge you as awomen who break wedlock or bshed blood are judged; I will bring blood upon you in fury and jealousy.  
39 I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your shrines and break down ayour high places. bThey shall also strip you of your clothes, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.

Ezekiel 16:36

Thy filthiness was poured out - nechushtech . As this word signifies a sort of metal, (brass), it is generally supposed to mean money. They had given money literally to these heathen nations to procure their friendship and assistance; but the word also means verdigris, the poisonous rust of copper or brass. It is properly translated in our version filthiness, poisonous filth. Does it not refer to that venereal virus which is engendered by promiscuous connexions?
