Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 23:25

_ _ take away thy nose ... ears — Adulteresses were punished so among the Egyptians and Chaldeans. Oriental beauties wore ornaments in the ear and nose. How just the retribution, that the features most bejeweled should be mutilated! So, allegorically as to Judah, the spiritual adulteress.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 23:22-35.
