Ezequiel 23:18

18 Reveló sus prostituciones y descubrió su desnudez; entonces me hastié de ella como me había hastiado de su hermana.

Ezequiel 23:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:18

So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness,
&c.] The Jews did not cease from their idolatries when they broke with the Babylonians; but were rather more frequent and impudent in them, and courted the friendship and alliance of other Heathen nations, and their worship; even as a lewd woman, when she has cast off her former lovers, does not leave her lewdness, but seeks after others; and by her impudence in discovering her whoredoms, and her nakedness, and by all the signs of a prostitute, draws in others to commit lewdness with her: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from
her sister;
as a virtuous husband is alienated from an adulterous wife, and cannot admit her to his bed and board, so the mind of the Lord was alienated from the Jews, because of their idolatries; nor could he favour them with his presence, and the blessings of his providence and goodness, as he had formerly done; even as his mind had been alienated, on the same account, from the ten tribes of Israel, and which he showed by suffering them to be carried captive.

Ezequiel 23:18 In-Context

16 Cuando los vio se apasionó de ellos y les envió mensajeros a Caldea.
17 Y vinieron a ella los babilonios, al lecho de amores, y la contaminaron con sus prostituciones. Y después de haber sido contaminada con ellos, su alma se hastió de ellos.
18 Reveló sus prostituciones y descubrió su desnudez; entonces me hastié de ella como me había hastiado de su hermana.
19 Pero ella multiplicó sus prostituciones, recordando los días de su juventud, cuando se prostituía en la tierra de Egipto
20 Y se apasionó de sus amantes, cuya carne es como la carne de los asnos y cuyo flujo es como el flujo de los caballos.
