THEOSISTheodoret of Cyrus
Since she disregarded My commandments, yet in her devotion to Me loved her neighbors, I withheld My blessings from her and allowed her to associate with those she chose over a relationship with Me.
Ezekiel 23:9Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers
Therefore have I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the sons of the Assyrians, upon whose lust she doted.
לָכֵ֥ן נְתַתִּ֖יהָ בְּיַד־מְאַֽהֲבֶ֑יהָ בְּיַד֙ בְּנֵ֣י אַשּׁ֔וּר אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָגְבָ֖ה עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
