Ezekiel 23:25
Shall take away thy nose - A punishment frequent among the Persians and Chaldeans, as ancient authors tell. Adulteries were punished in this way; and to this Martial refers: -
Quis tibi persuasit nares abscindere moecho ?
"Who has counselled thee to cut off the adulterer' s nose?"
Women were thus treated in Egypt. See Calmet.
