Israel's Base Response to the Goodness of Yahweh.
“But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your whoredoms on all who passed by. His it was.”
The beauty and renown that God had given them proved their downfall. It led to disobedience and idolatry. We only have to think of the effect on Solomon of his foreign wives, all the result of his splendour (1 Kings 11:1-3). They inveigled him into idolatry (1 Kings 11:4-6). And what the king did the people gladly copied. ‘On all who passed by.' They had previously been delivered by Yahweh passing by (Ezekiel 16:6; Ezekiel 16:8), but now those who passed by were lovers, and they led her astray. These lovers would once not have looked at her, but because of what God had done for her she had now become desirable. ‘His it was.' Each one of them could have her, she was free and easy.
