28 "'You had sex with the Assyrians because you weren't satisfied. You still weren't satisfied.

Ezekiel 16:28 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:28

Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians
By entering into alliances with them, and worshipping their idols; which was done in the times of Ahaz, who sent to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria for help, and to Damascus for the fashion of the altar there, and built one according to it, ( 2 Kings 7:10 2 Kings 7:11 ) ; because thou wast unsatiable;
not content with the alliance and idolatries of the Egyptians: yea, thou hast played the harlot with them;
with the Assyrians: and yet couldest not be satisfied;
with their idols, and the worship of them, but sought out for new gods, and new modes of worship; like a lewd woman, who having prostituted herself to one, and to another, yet remains insatiable, and seeks out for other lovers.

Ezekiel 16:28 In-Context

26 You had sex with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians. You used your prostitution to make me angry.
27 "'So I used my power against you. I took away some of your land, and I handed you over to your greedy enemies, the Philistines, who were ashamed of what you had done.
28 "'You had sex with the Assyrians because you weren't satisfied. You still weren't satisfied.
29 So you increased your acts of prostitution to include the land of the merchants, the Babylonians. Even after that, you weren't satisfied.
30 "'You have no will power! declares the Almighty LORD. You do everything a shameless prostitute does.
