SCRIPTURE

"Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt; so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more." — Ezekiel 23:27 (ASV)

Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you; That is, their idolatry; for, after this captivity, the Jews never were guilty of idolatry any more:

and your whoredom brought from the land of Egypt; The idolatry which they learned there, and brought from thence; so the Targum, "the worship of your idols, which was with you when you were in the land of Egypt:"

so that you shall not lift up your eyes unto them; To the idols of Egypt, to pray unto them, and worship them:

nor remember Egypt any more; With any delight and pleasure, and so as to desire an alliance with them, and help from them, or to join with them in their idolatries: so the Targum, "and the idols of the Egyptians you shall remember no more."
