28 The Queen Becomes a Harlot

Now God says that they desecrated their holiness and opened their legs (leg and feet are both regalime in Hebrew) to every one that passed by. This is an obvious expression of flaunting their lewdness in offering their spiritual fornication to everyone. It reflects their shameless abandon for going after idols and the open sexual behavior associated with it. The Israelites sought them out and courted them all to increase her harlotry. The multiplication of her whoredom means the idolatrous nations yielded to her nothing in return. She had yielded so much that, like a worn-out prostitute, her tempters became weary of her.
