George Leo Haydock, on Ezek 16:31

George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Ezek 16:31 · Douay-Rheims
“Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price,”
On this verse:
“Price, before she will yield, (Haydock) or who follow such practices for a livelihood. (Calmet) — Hebrew, “in that thou scornest hire.” (Protestants) Septuagint, “gathering rewards.” The difference consisted in Jerusalem’s sinning through mere wantonness, and even to her loss.”
