Ezekiel 16:37
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure,.... Or, "with whom thou hast mixed" {r}; in unlawful embraces, joined in sinful alliances, or in idolatrous practices:
and all them that thou hast loved; the Egyptians and Assyrians, whose friendship and idolatrous customs they were fond of:
with all them that thou hast hated; as the Philistines, Moabites, and Ammonites:
I will even gather them round about against thee; as they were in the Chaldean army, which consisted of many nations:
and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness; as a just retaliation for discovering it herself, as in
Ezekiel 16:36; than which nothing can be more disagreeable to the sex. The Milesian virgins were restrained from suicide by a law, which ordered that such should be drawn naked through the market place. This is to be understood of the spoiling of the city and temple.
