Commentary on Ezekiel 23:40

Theological / Devotional

Sent for men. The tense of the Hebrew verb suggests that the action was habitual. They used to send, again and again.

Paintedst thy eyes. The ancients used powdered antimony, black in color, to produce a margin around the eyes so as to make the white of the eyes look more beautiful and seducing (see on 2 Kings 9:30).
