Context of Ezekiel 16:29

27“So behold, I stretched out My hand over you. I diminished your ration. I gave you over to those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your indecent conduct. 28Then you also played the harlot with the Assyrians, never being satisfied; you played the harlot with them, and still you were not satisfied. So you multiplied your harlotry toward the land of merchants—Chaldea—yet even with this, you were not satisfied. 30“How weak is your heart”—it is a declaration of Adonai Elohim—“while you are doing all these things, the work of a shameless harlot, 31when you build your mound at the head of every road and make your high place in every street. Yet you were not like a harlot, since you scoffed at receiving payment.

Some render it: “with the…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 26-29Jerusalem eagerly sought close relationships with Egypt, Assyria, and Babylonia. These political alliances cost a great deal of money. They also failed to bring the help and protection that the leaders expected. Even if these agreements had brought clear political benefits, they would still have been wrong. They showed that Jerusalem did not trust the Lord. Instead of depending on him, the city looked to other nations for safety. These alliances also led…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. multiplied ... fornication in ... Canaan unto Chaldea--Thou hast multiplied thy idolatries "in Canaan" by sending "unto Chaldea" to borrow from thence the Chaldean rites, to add to the abominations already practised "in Canaan," before the carrying away of Jehoiachin to Chaldea.
