Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 23:29

29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully , and shall take away all thy labour , and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

Use thee, and ever demean themselves toward thee

In hatred, whatever drudgery, hardship, base, and vile employment their spite and hatred can invent, they shall cast on thee.

Spoil thee of all thou hadst got in Iudea, as they did when they conquered, and plundered. And deprive thee of all the right, and comfortable use of all thy labour, which they will exact of thee in Captivity, and make thee know a Slave hath no right to any thing.

Both literally, thou shalt not have clothes to cover thy nakedness, and figuratively, thou shalt be left in a most disgraced state, and the shame of all thy sins shall cover thee: All this, as this Prophet usually doth, is doubled to affect the more.
