Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Ezekiel 16:35

Her indictment and notoriety of all the charge against her we have heard; her crimes she was guilty of, with the aggravations of them; now follows sentence of condemnation against her. Hear the word of just condemnation which thou must submit to, though thou refusedst the word of counsel and precept.
