Ezequiel 16:33

33 A todas las rameras dan dones; mas tú diste tus dones á todos tus enamorados; y les diste presentes, porque entrasen á ti de todas partes por tus fornicaciones.

Ezequiel 16:33 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:33

They give gifts to all whores
Gifts are usually given to whores, by those who commit whoredom with them; it is for the sake of these they prostitute their bodies, nor will they do this without gain; see ( Genesis 38:16 Genesis 38:17 ) ; but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers;
the Jews gave the Egyptians and Assyrians money, to gain their friendship, and procure alliances with them; see ( 2 Kings 16:8 ) ( Isaiah 30:6 Isaiah 30:7 ) ; and were at great expenses with their idols, and in support of their idolatrous worship: and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy
whoredom;
they courted the nations all around them for their favour and friendship, and bribed them into it, as the word F14 signifies.

Ezequiel 16:33 In-Context

31 Edificando tus altares en cabeza de todo camino, y haciendo tus altares en todas las plazas! Y no fuiste semejante á ramera, menospreciando el salario,
32 Sino como mujer adúltera, por cuanto que en lugar de su marido recibe á ajenos.
33 A todas las rameras dan dones; mas tú diste tus dones á todos tus enamorados; y les diste presentes, porque entrasen á ti de todas partes por tus fornicaciones.
34 Y ha sido en ti al contrario de las mujeres en tus fornicaciones, ni nunca después de ti será así fornicado; porque en dar tú dones, y no ser dados dones á ti, ha sido al contrario.
35 Por tanto, ramera, oye palabra de Jehová:
