John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 16:24

"that thou hast built unto thee a vaulted place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street." — Ezekiel 16:24 (ASV)

[That] you have also built unto you an eminent place
Or a "brothel" ^F11 ; and so the Septuagint version, "a whoring house"; not content to commit idolatry privately, they built a public place for idolatrous worship. The Targum renders it, "altar", The word has the signification of a pit or ditch; with which compare (Proverbs 22:14) (23:27) ; and have made you an high place in every street ;
of Jerusalem, and other cities; it was usual to erect high places in streets, where altars were built, and idols set up to be worshipped: it denotes the public manner in which they committed idolatry, and the multitude of their idols; which shows their impudence and hardness of heart.
