²⁹ Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
³⁰ How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; Col 2, 11. Eze 23, 44.
³¹ In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire; Hos 8, 11.

Eze 16:28-34

Ahaz king of Israel sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus

¹⁹ For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD. Jer 15, 4. Exo 32, 25.
²⁰ And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
²¹ For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not. 2Ki 16, 8. Jer 2, 36.
²² And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.
²³ For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. 2Ki 16, 10.
²⁴ And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem. 2Ki 16, 4.
²⁵ And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.

2Ch 28:19-25

Imperious whorish woman

Ezekiel 16:30-34.
How weak is thy heart
— Not only unstable as to good resolutions, but even restless and unsettled in evil practices, still hankering after some new kind of idolatry, and resolved to indulge a wandering appetite, Ezekiel 16:28-29.

The work of an imperious, whorish woman
— A woman that acknowledges no superior, and will neither be guided nor governed.

In that thou buildest thine eminent place
— See Ezekiel 16:16, 16:22.

And hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest hire
— Thou art the more inexcusable in that thou hast practised these idolatries without being compelled to it by want and necessity, and thou also hast never gained by them.

The metaphor of a lewd woman is still carried on; and as one who is lewd for the sake of a maintenance, is more excusable than those who are lewd to gratify their passions, so God here tells the Jewish people, by the prophet, that they had not even the plea, which common harlots had, of practising their sin out of necessity; for that they had never made any advantage of their idolatries, but were subservient to those idolatrous nations, and lavished their riches on them, without reaping any benefit from them.

They give gifts to all whores
— That is, to the most of them: it is usual for loose men to do so.

But thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers
— By this is signified the large presents they frequently sent to the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Chaldeans, to purchase their friendship. The Jews are often upbraided for making leagues with idolaters, and courting their favours by presents, and by complying with their idolatries.
