Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 16:45

_ _ mother’s ... that loatheth her husband — that is, God (“haters of God,” Romans 1:30); therefore the knowledge of the true God had originally been in Canaan, handed down from Noah (hence we find Melchisedek, king of Salem, in Canaan, “priest of the most high God,” Genesis 14:18), but Canaan apostatized from it; this was what constituted the blackness of the Canaanites’ guilt.

_ _ loathed ... children — whom she put to death in honor of Saturn; a practice common among the Phoenicians.

_ _ sister of thy sisters — Thou art akin in guilt to Samaria and Sodom, to which thou art akin by birth. Moab and Ammon, the incestuous children of Lot, nephew of Abraham, Israel’s progenitor, had their origin from Sodom; so Sodom might be called Judah’s sister. Samaria, answering to the ten tribes of Israel, is, of course, sister to Judah.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 16:44-59.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 16:45

Thou — The nation of the Jews. Thy mother's daughter — As much in thy inclinations, as for thy original. Loatheth — That was weary of the best husband.
