Ezekiel 16:37

Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure ,.... Or, "with whom thou hast mixed" F18 אשר ערבת עליהם "quibus commixtuisti cum illis", Starckius. ; in unlawful embraces, joined in sinful alliances, or in idolatrous practices:

and all them that thou hast loved ; the Egyptians and Assyrians, whose friendship and idolatrous customs they were fond of:

with all them that thou hast hated ; as the Philistines, Moabites, and Ammonites:

I will even gather them round about against thee ; as they were in the Chaldean army, which consisted of many nations:

and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness ; as a just retaliation for discovering it herself, as in Ezekiel 16:36 ; than which nothing can be more disagreeable to the sex. The Milesian virgins were restrained from suicide by a law, which ordered that such should be drawn naked through the market place. This is to be understood of the spoiling of the city and temple.
