This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
set her as in the day ... born - (Eze 16:4; Eze 23:25, Eze 23:26, Eze 23:28, Eze 23:29). The day of her political “birth” was when God delivered her from the bondage of Egypt, and set up the theocracy.
make her as a wilderness - (Jer 6:8; Zep 2:13). Translate, “make her as the wilderness,” namely, that in which she passed forty years on her way to her goodly possession of Canaan. With this agrees the mention of “thirst” (compare Jer 2:6).
