Ezekiel 16:23 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

It came to pass; it shall come to pass; so the Hebrew may be read, and then this verse will be a dreadful threat of misery to come upon the Jews for all their wickednesses; when they have filled up the measure of their sins, God will fill them with his judgments, and bring one woe after another upon them, as they proceeded from one wickedness to another. But as we read the words, they are an introduction to a further declaring of this people's multiplied wickedness, with a dreadful menace introduced somewhat abruptly to express God's great displeasure against them: the threat is doubled, because it is certainly coming, and will be great when come.
