SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:40
Y cuanto más, que enviaron por hombres que vienen de lejos, a los cuales había sido enviado mensajero; y he aquí vinieron; y por amor de ellos te lavaste, y pintaste tus ojos, y te ataviaste con adornos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 23:40
Verse 40. Thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments.] This is exactly the way in which a loose female in Bengal adorns herself to receive guests. She first bathes, then rubs black paint around her eyes, and then covers her body with ornaments. - WARD'S Customs.
Matthew Henry Commentary
A history of the apostacy of God's people from him, and the aggravatio thereof. In this parable, Samaria and Israel bear the name Aholah, "her ow tabernacle;" because the places of worship those kingdoms had, were of their own devising. Jerusalem and Judah bear the name of Aholibah, "m tabernacle is in her," because their temple was the place which God himself had chosen, to put his name there. The language and figures ar according to those times. Will not such humbling representations of nature keep open perpetual repentance and sorrow in the soul, hidin pride from our eyes, and taking us from self-righteousness? Will it no also prompt the soul to look to God continually for grace, that by his Holy Spirit we may mortify the deeds of the body, and live in holy conversation and godliness __________________________________________________________________
