Eze 16:25 | JFB | STEP | 25. at every head of the way —in the most frequented places ( ). thy beauty . . . abhorred, . . . opened . . . feet to every one —The wanton advances were all on Israel's part; the idolatrous nations yielded to her nothing in return. She had yielded so much that, like a worn-out prostitute, her tempters became weary of her. When the Church lowers her testimony for God to the carnal tastes of the world, with a view to conciliation, she loses everything and gains nothing.

Ezekiel 16:25

25. at every head of the way—in the most frequented places (Pr 9:14).

thy beauty . . . abhorred, . . . opened . . . feet to every one—The wanton advances were all on Israel's part; the idolatrous nations yielded to her nothing in return. She had yielded so much that, like a worn-out prostitute, her tempters became weary of her.
