Ezekiel16:19
19 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oyle, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour; and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.
The Bread, all that was necessary, and proper for thy sustentation in general which I gave thee, thou hast fed thy Paramours withal.
Here are particularly recounted the things God gave, and this Adulteress misimployed, both literally, and mystically: For I doubt not the Iews were lavish of the Fruits of the Divine bounty, bestowing them both on Adulterers, and on Idols.
To reconcile the Idol, or to prolong the favour of the Idol, or to give a pleasing entertainment to their Adulterers, or to provide for the Idolatrous Priests, and their Families, which could spend all this, though the Idol knew not of it.
All which is self evident, plain, and needs no proof, 'tis undeniable.
Marginal references: Heb. bread.; Heb. savour of rest.
