Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 16:24

24 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place; and hast made thee an high place in every street.

With great charge and pains, as those do who build, hereby declaring thy purposes of continuing thy lewdness,

For thy self, grown so prodigiously publick, and followed with such numbers, and such great ones, that no common place was thought great enough, or stately enough.

Not only eminent for its Scituation, but for its Structure, that it might invite men in, and have room to treat them, unless you will refer the words that follow to the manner of the Building, and the former words to the height of the Scituation.

Idol Temples, and Brothel houses were in every street; so common were these sins with the Iews, in every large street capable of, and frequented with much Company. This in Ierusalem and her Cities.
