Ezekiel 23:7 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:7

Thus she committed her whoredoms with them
Entered into alliance with them, and joined them in their idolatrous worship: with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria;
before described by their habit, office, and age: and with all on whom she doted;
had an insatiable desire and lust after: with all their idols she defiled herself;
worshipped all the idols the Assyrians did; and which were defiling, as they must needs be, since, as the word used signifies, they were dunghill gods.
