Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 6:9

Shall remember — So as to turn unto me. Broken — I am much grieved. Whorish heart — Idolatrous hearts depart from God, as an adulterous wife departs from her husband. Loath — With a mixture of grief towards God, of indignation against themselves, and abhorrence of the offence.
