Ezekiel 16:31 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:31

In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every
way Or brothel house, as before; (See Gill on Ezekiel 16:24); which showed her to be a whore, and an imperious one: and makest thine high place in every street;
(See Gill on Ezekiel 16:24); and hast not been as an harlot:
a common one, or as a harlot usually is: in that thou scornest hire;
which they do not; for it is for hire they prostitute themselves; and have their names, both in our language, and in the Latin tongue, from, thence.

Ezekiel 16:31 In-Context

29 et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in terra Chanaan cum Chaldeis et nec sic satiata es
30 in quo mundabo cor tuum ait Dominus Deus cum facias omnia haec opera mulieris meretricis et procacis
31 quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viae et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium
32 sed quasi mulier adultera quae super virum suum inducit alienos
33 omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis et donabas eis ut intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum
