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 ) .
