Ezekiel 16:32 — Meaning and Application

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 an harlot, in that thou scornest hire; {In that thou buildest...: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc}

{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 for thy whoredom. {hirest: Heb. bribest}

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.
