Ezekiel 16:16

Context
NETBible

You took some of your clothing and made for yourself decorated high places; you engaged in prostitution on them. You went to him to become his. 1 

XREF

2Ki 23:7; 2Ch 28:24; Eze 7:20; Ho 2:8

NET © Notes

tc The text as written in the MT is incomprehensible (“not coming [plural] and he will not”). Driver has suggested a copying error of similar-sounding words, specifically לֹא (lo’) for לוֹ (lo). The feminine participle בָאוֹת (vaot) has also been read as the feminine perfect בָאת (vat). See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 1:228, n. 15.b, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:486, n. 137.
