Ezekiel 23:35
that is, the guilt of their sins, the punishment of their idolatries, and shame and confusion for them.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, because thou hast forgotten
me
His word, worship, and ordinances, and did not attend unto them, but worshipped strange gods: so the Targum,
``because thou hast left my worship:''and cast me behind thy back; or, as the same paraphrase,
``hast cast the fear of me from before thine eyes;''or out of thy sight, his laws and statutes; see ( Nehemiah 9:26 ) ( Isaiah 5:24 ) , as men cast behind their backs that which they have no value for and loath, and which they do not care to see, and choose to forget: therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms;
that is, the guilt of their sins, the punishment of their idolatries, and shame and confusion for them.
