Ezekiel 16:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:22

And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms
Or idolatries, which were abominable to God, and were many; of which that just mentioned was not one of the least: thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth;
the destitute and forlorn condition then in, and what favours were then bestowed: when thou wast naked and bare, [and] wast polluted in thy blood;
