Methodist 1832 · Commentary on the Whole Bible, Ezekiel 16:15

Adam Clarke, on Ezek 16:15

Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Ezek 16:15 · Douay-Rheims
“But trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his.”
On this verse:
“Thou didst trust in thine own beauty - Riches, strength, alliances, etc.; never considering that all they possessed came from God; therefore it was his comeliness which he had put upon them. Witness their original abject state, and the degree of eminence to which they had arrived afterwards through the protecting power of God.”
