In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way,.... Or brothel house, as before; Ezekiel 16:24; which showed her to be a whore, and an imperious one:
and makest thine high place in every street;
and hast not been as an harlot: a common one, or as a harlot usually is:
in that thou scornest hire; which they do not; for it is for hire they prostitute themselves; and have their names, both in our language, and in the Latin tongue, from, thence.
