Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, &c.] That is, their idolatry; for, after this captivity, the Jews never were guilty of idolatry any more: and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt; the idolatry which they learned there, and brought from thence; so the Targum, “the worship of thine idols, which was with thee when thou wast in the land of Egypt:” so that thou shall not lift up thine 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 thou shalt remember no more.”
