Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Ezek 16:44
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Ezek 16:44 · Douay-Rheims
“Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.”
On this verse:
“As . . . mother . . . her daughter--"Is," and "so is," are not in the original; the ellipsis gives the proverb (but two words in the Hebrew) epigrammatic brevity. Jerusalem proved herself a true daughter of the Hittite mother in sin (Eze 16:3).”
