Ezekiel 16:56-58 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned, &c.— Nor shalt thou any more mention thy sister with reproach, as in the day of thy pride. Ezekiel 16:57. Namely, before thy wickedness was discovered; and the time of thy reproach was the same as that of the daughters of Syria, and all her neighbours, and of the daughters of the Philistines who dwell round about thee. Ezekiel 16:58. Thou shalt bear, &c. Houbigant. The exemplary punishment of Sodom was not duly considered, and spoken of, by thee in the time of thy prosperity and self-confidence; before thy humiliation shewed thy wickedness, and defeats and distresses were brought on thee by the Syrians and Philistines.
