John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 23:29

"and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms." — Ezekiel 23:29 (ASV)

And they shall deal with thee hatefully The Chaldeans should hate the Jews as much as before they loved them, when they came into the bed of love to them, (Ezekiel 23:17) and as much as the Jews hated them; which they showed by their severe and rigorous usage of them, putting some to the sword, carrying the rest captive, and employing them in hard service and labour; and, which is still worse, and an aggravation of all this:

and shall take away all thy labour ; whatever they got by labour, that they should not enjoy, but should be taken away from them:

and shall leave thee naked and bare : stripped of all the necessaries and conveniences of life:

and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms ; it shall then be manifest to all that you have been guilty of idolatry, and have departed from the Lord your God, which has caused him to bring these judgments upon you for your sins. The Targum paraphrases the latter part of the clause thus,

``the sins of your wicked counsels, and your pride.'' It seems to be a heap of words, to express the grossness of their idolatries, which now should be exposed.
