And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in
thy
whoredoms
Of which an instance is given before, and another is added, with
the repetition of the former: whereas none followeth thee
to commit whoredoms;
the Jews followed the examples, customs, and practices of the
Gentiles, in worshipping of their idols; but the Gentiles did not
follow the Jews, they kept to their own gods, and did not worship
the God of Israel; which with respect to their own gods would
have been fornication; and whereas it is usual for men to follow
after whorish women, and solicit them by gifts and presents, or
promises, and not for them to follow the men, court and solicit
them; on the other hand, the Jews, who are compared to a whorish
woman, followed after their lovers, and not their lovers after
them: or, "after thee there was not", or "shall not be
fornication" F15; like to thine; it being such as
never had been, nor never would be the like again: and in
that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto
thee,
therefore thou art contrary;
to all other lewd women, who take, but give no reward.
