^*The pride of Israel testifies to his face: that's branded with the infamy of whoredom too, vers. 4.^* The spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them: All manner of profaneness are but streams that flow from the poisoned fountain of an whorish heart, an heart turned away from God, and refusing to turn unto him again. And therefore in reference to all these and more, it is demanded with astonishment;³ How is the faithful City become an harlot? Wherein? It follows, it was full of judgment, righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers: Thy Princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth gifts and followeth after rewards; they judg not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. See perverting of justice, rebellion, robbery, covetousness, bribery, mercilessness, all these are Whoredom.
