Barnes's Ezekiel 16:14 Bible Commentary
Perfect ... my comeliness - The comeliness was not natural, but the gift of God.
Wesley's Ezekiel 16:14 Bible Commentary
16:14 My comeliness - "That is, thro' the beauty of their holiness, as they were a people devoted to God. This was it that put a lustre upon all their other honours, and was indeed the perfection of their beauty.Sanctified souls are truly beautiful in God's sight, and they themselves may take the comfort of it. But God must have all the glory for whatever comeliness they have, it is that which God has put upon them."
