Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 16:22

22 And in all thine abominations, and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembred the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.

Thou wast so intent upon, and delighted in thy lew'd courses, thou never thought'st what once thou wast, or what again thou mightest be.

Both Corporal and Spiritual.

This is the same thing charged thus on her, because she wou'd not consider, or lay it to heart.

Thou hast utterly forgotten, it is a form of speech, that contains more than the words seem to have in them, she had forgotten her self and her God.

The misery and loathsomeness of thy Birth, which is exprest very Elegantly. 1. Naked, as contemptible as poverty could make her. 2. Nay, she was Nakedness it self, as the word will bear, exposed to all the suffering that can befal such poor helpless wretches. 3. Bleeding to death in a most loathsome defiled condition, that none wou'd come near her, but ungrateful, she forgot all.
