Jeremiah2:33
33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love ? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy wayes .
Or deckest, Ezek. 23.40. thinking thereby to entice others to thy help, thus is the word used, chap. 4.30. or why dost thou use so much art and skill, and take so much pains to go, and send here and there to contract a Friendship with forreign People, and to bring them to thy embraces, Isa. 57.9, 10. or thinking to set a good face, or g oss upon the matter, and excuse thy self, as if thou couldst delude God, Psal. 78.36, 37. whereas all thou doest is to get acquaintance with other Idolaters.
i. e. to commit filthiness with thy Idols, a Synecdoche of the kind.
i. e. Thou art become so vile, that even strumpets themselves, may come to learn of thee, 2 Chron. 33.9. Or by thy example; Nations that have been vile enough of themselves, by thy example are become more vile.
i. e. Thy Actions, a Metaphor.
