Ezequiel 16:30 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:30

How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God
Through sin; and being destitute of the grace of God, and so unable to resist any temptation, or oppose any corruption or lust, but carried away with everyone that offers; indulging every lust, and yet not satisfied; weak as water, unstable, fickle, and inconstant, seeking after new gods, and new kinds of worship. The Targum is,

``how strong is the wickedness of thy heart!''
the stronger the wickedness of the heart, the weaker, the heart is: seeing thou doest all these [things];
all the idolatries before mentioned; which was an argument not of her strength, but weakness, and yet of boldness, impudence, and resolution, to have her will: the work of an imperious whorish woman;
a whore, as she is impudent, is imperious, is one that rules and governs. The Targum is, who rules over herself; does what she pleases, will have her will and way, and cannot bear any contradiction; and who rules over others, such as are her gallants, obliging them to do as she commands. Jarchi's note is,
``over whom her imagination (or corruption) rules.''

Ezequiel 16:30 In-Context

28 VocĂȘ se prostituiu tambĂ©m com os assĂ­rios, porque era insaciĂĄvel, e, mesmo depois disso, ainda nĂŁo ficou satisfeita.
29 EntĂŁo vocĂȘ aumentou a sua promiscuidade tambĂ©m com a BabilĂŽnia, uma terra de comerciantes, mas nem com isso ficou satisfeita.
30 “Como vocĂȘ tem pouca força de vontade, palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR, quando vocĂȘ faz todas essas coisas, agindo como uma prostituta descarada!
31 Quando construĂ­a os seus altares idĂłlatras em cada esquina e fazia seus santuĂĄrios elevados em cada praça pĂșblica, vocĂȘ sĂł nĂŁo foi como prostituta porque desprezou o pagamento.
32 “VocĂȘ, mulher adĂșltera! Prefere estranhos ao seu prĂłprio marido!
