George Leo Haydock, on Ezek 16:3

“And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorrhite, and thy mother a Cethite.”

“Cethite, or “Hethite.” These two were probably the most abandoned of Chanaan. Daniel (xiii. 56.) gives the infamous judges the like appellation; and Isaias (i. 10.) calls the Jews princes of Sodom. (Calmet) — So Dido says to Eneas: Nec te diva parens, generis nec Dardanus auctor Perfide sed duris genuit te cautibus, &c. (Virgil, Æneid iv.) (Haydock) — But we nowhere find such a vehement and continued reprimand. The prophet seems to quit his proper character to make (Calmet) the abominations of the people known and detested, chap. iii. 8. (Haydock)”
