Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 16:28

28 Thou hast play'd the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast play'd the harlot with them, and yet could'st not be satisfied.

Courted their friendship and alliance, and to obtain it hast entertain'd their Religion, Manners and Impieties, been an Idolatress with them, and committed Adulteries with them.

Though they were far from thee, when thou didst wickedly with thy Neighbours, it might admit some little colour of excuse, but it is inexcusable to run to remotest Nations.

without satisfying thy self, (and so the Hebr. may be read) but our Interpreters refer it to the boundless Lusts of this lewd Adulteress, and not to the issue and event of her practices; and in the endless lustings of a wicked heart, Idolaters and Adulterers do agree.

'Tis repeated to shame her, and make her blush, and repent.

Or wast not satisfied, Assyrian Gods proved, as other Idols, a snare, and a lie to the Iews. 2 King. 16.9, 10, Ier. 2..18, 36. Hos. 7.11, 12. and chap. 14. ver. 3.
