Yechezkel 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.

Yechezkel 16:31 In-Context

29 Thou hast moreover multiplied thy zenut to eretz Kena’an unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied therewith.
30 How degenerate is thine lev, saith Adonoi Hashem, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of a brazen isha zonah;
31 In that thou buildest thine gev in rosh kol derech, and makest thine ramah in every rechov; and hast not been as a zonah, in that thou scornest hire;
32 But as the isha (wife) the mena’efet (one that commiteth adultery), which taketh zarim instead of her ish!
33 They give nedeh (gifts) to all zonot; but thou givest thy nadan (gift) to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy zenut.
