Ezekiel 23:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 23:19

Yet she multiplied her whoredoms
Though the Lord frowned upon the Jews in the times of Jehoiakim and Zedekiah, yet still they went on, and increased their alliances and idolatries with the Heathen nations: in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played
the harlot in the land of Egypt;
they called to mind with pleasure the idolatries of their fathers in Egypt, and committed the same themselves; they sent ambassadors to Egypt, in the times of Zedekiah, for help and assistance, and to enter into alliance with them, when they renewed among them the idolatries of that nation; see ( Ezekiel 17:15 ) .

Ezekiel 23:19 In-Context

17 The Babylonians came on the run, fornicated with her, made her dirty inside and out. When they had thoroughly debased her, she lost interest in them.
18 Then she went public with her fornication. She exhibited her sex to the world.
19 But that didn't slow her down. She went at her whoring harder than ever. She remembered when she was young, just starting out as a whore in Egypt
20 That whetted her appetite for more virile, vulgar, and violent lovers - stallions obsessive in their lust.
21 She longed for the sexual prowess of her youth back in Egypt, where her firm young breasts were caressed and fondled
