That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.

That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street.

that thou didst also build unto thee a place of debauchery, and didst make thee a high place in every street:

that thou hast built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street.

That thou dost build to thee an arch, And dost make to thee a high place in every broad place.

That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.

you built for yourself a brothel, and you made for yourself a place of prostitution in every street.

Et aedificasti tibi excelsum, et fecisti tibi excelsum in omni platea. [101]

That thou - Render it: after that thou didst build "unto thee an eminent place," and didst make "thee an high place in every street" - after that thou didst build "thy high place at the head of every way and" didst make"it came to pass, that thou" didst "also" commit "fornication" etc.
An eminent place - literally, "an arched building." Such places were used as brothels, and so the word is used metaphorically for a place of idol-worship.

Thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place - גב gab, a stew or brothel; Vulg. lupanar; Septuag. οικημα πορνικον. So my old MS. Bible, a bordel house. "Thou hast builded thy stewes and bordell houses in every place." - Coverdale's Bible, 1636. Bordel is an Italian word: how it got so early into our language I know not. Our modern word brothel is a corruption of it. Diodati translates, Tu hai edificato un bordello, "Thou hast built a brothel." Houses of this kind were of a very ancient date.

That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place,.... Or a "brothel" (k); and so the Septuagint version, "a whoring house"; not content to commit idolatry privately, they built a public place for idolatrous worship. The Targum renders it, "altar", The word has the signification of a pit or ditch; with which compare Proverbs 22:14;
and hast made thee an high place in every street; of Jerusalem, and other cities; it was usual to erect high places in streets, where altars were built, and idols set up to be worshipped: it denotes the public manner in which they committed idolatry, and the multitude of their idols; which shows their impudence and hardness of heart.
(k) , Sept. "lupanar", V. L. "prostibulum", so some in Starckius.

eminent place--rather, "a fornication-chamber," often connected with the impure rites of idolatry; spiritual fornication, on "an eminent place," answering to "fornication-chamber," is mainly meant, with an allusion also to the literal fornication associated with it (Jeremiah 2:20; Jeremiah 3:2).

In every street - Idol temples were in every street; both in Jerusalem and her cities.
