This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
filthiness - literally, “brass”; metaphor for the lowest part of the person [Calvin]. English Version is better: thy filthy lewdness is poured out without restraint (compare Jer 13:27). As silver is an emblem of purity, brass typifies “filthiness,” because it easily contracts rust. Henderson explains it, “Because thy money was lavished on thy lovers” (Eze 16:31, Eze 16:33, Eze 16:34).
blood of thy children - (Eze 16:20; Jer 2:34).
