The Pulpit Commentary on Ezekiel 16:57

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

For thy reproach, read, with the Revised Version, the reproach. The words point primarily to the disasters, not of Judah, but to those that fell on the cities of Syria and Philistia—the Assyrian and Chaldean invasions.

(For the grouping of the two nations as enemies of Judab, see Isaiah 9:12; and for special acts of hostility, 2 Kings 15:37; 2 Kings 16:6; and 2 Chronicles 28:18, 2 Chronicles 28:19.
