(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Plead - expostulate.
mother - that is, the nation collectively. The address is to “her children,” that is, to the individual citizens of the state (compare Isa 50:1).
for she is not my wife - She has deprived herself of her high privilege by spiritual adultery.
out of her sight - rather, “from her face.” Her very countenance unblushingly betrayed her lust, as did also her exposed “breasts.”
