What Does Ezekiel 23:43 Mean?
The phrase 'old in adulteries' indicates that unfaithfulness was not new but practiced over a long history. The prophet questions whether this worn, corrupted kingdom still has capacity for more covenant-breaking, or whether her degradation is complete.
The question implies observation of Aholibah's condition: she has become so accustomed to spiritual infidelity that she orchestrates it reflexively, without shame or resistance.
