30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
30 have brought this on you, because you lusted after the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
30 have brought this upon you, because you played the whore with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.
30 will be exposed. Your lust has brought you to this condition because you whored with pagan nations and made yourself filthy with their no-god idols.
30 I will do these things to you because you have gone as a harlot after the Gentiles, because you have become defiled by their idols.
30 You brought all this on yourself by prostituting yourself to other nations, defiling yourself with all their idols.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 23:30
Chapter Contents
A history of the apostacy of God's people from him, and the aggravation thereof.
In this parable, Samaria and Israel bear the name Aholah, "her own tabernacle;" because the places of worship those kingdoms had, were of their own devising. Jerusalem and Judah bear the name of Aholibah, "my tabernacle is in her," because their temple was the place which God himself had chosen, to put his name there. The language and figures are according to those times. Will not such humbling representations of nature keep open perpetual repentance and sorrow in the soul, hiding pride from our eyes, and taking us from self-righteousness? Will it not also prompt the soul to look to God continually for grace, that by his Holy Spirit we may mortify the deeds of the body, and live in holy conversation and godliness?
