Ezekiel16:44

44 Behold every one that useth proverbs, shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

That delights to make parables, and useth to taunt at the vices of notorious sinners.

This might be read with the former phrase, and render us this sense, every one that would speak against thee, O Ierusalem, and tartly upbraid thee, shall use this proverb.

Old Ierusalem, when the seat of the Iebusites, or the Land of Canaan, when full of the Idolatrous, bloody, barbarous Nations.

Ierusalem, or Synagogue of the Iews, which is more like in the wickednesses of those accursed Nations, then near them in places of abode. See more, ver. 3.
