Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 36:17

17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way, and by their doings their way was before me, as the uncleanness of a removed woman.

In fulness, ease, and security as in days past they did.

Brought in much sin, and great guilt upon the land. i. e. on themselves, who dwelt there, and sinned greatly.

Leaving my Law, despising my Counsel, forsaking my Worship and Temple.

By their carriage, and practices in their whole conversation.

Or as one excommunicate, and cut off from the Congregation, because of some great sin. Or▪ since Idolatry is so often compar'd to Fornication, and Whoredom, possibly it may be here the filthiness of Spiritual Whoredom, I hated, and loathed the filthiness of their ways as I would the impurity of a whor[illegible: 1 letter]sh woman prostituting her self for gain. The word may include the reward of a Whore, as it doth Ezek. 16.33.
