Verse 10. In thee have they discovered] They are guilty of the most abominable incest and unnatural lust.
In thee have they humbled] In their unholy and unnatural connexions, they have not abstained from those set apart because of their infirmities. The catalogue of crimes that follow is too plain to require comment.

Like wild Arabians, the worst of heathens, there have been and are some that incestuously defile their fathers bed.
Humbled; it seems to imply a force and violence offered to the persons, whether virgins or married, whom at unseasonable time they forced to satisfy their lusts: forbidden Lev 18:19; 20:18, and that on very just reasons, and for preventing many mischiefs, which follow such unseasonable commixtures.

In thee have they discovered their father’s nakedness,…. Or, “he discovered” b, or “uncovered”, it being in the singular number; though the Targum, Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions, read in the plural; this, though committed, was done but by a few; it being a sin not so much as named among men, as for a man to lie with his father’s wife, 1Co 5:1 as Reuben did,
Ge 35:22 and which is expressly forbidden; and is mentioned first as the capital sin of uncleanness, Le 18:6:
in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution; ravished and deflowered such women who had their menstrues; to lie with such was prohibited by the law of God, Le 18:19, so that here was a double sin committed; a rape of a woman, whether married or unmarried, at the time of her purgation or sickness; and such a copulation, which at another time would be lawful, ought to be abstained from at such a time, as prejudicial to themselves, and to their posterity, as well as contrary to the divine law.

10, 11. This people, called to be a witness of Jehovah’s purity to all the earth, was going into the lowest depths of lust. There is no reason to doubt that this is a true picture of the corruption of this period. (See Jer 5:7; Amo 2:6-8; Hos 7:7, etc.) Yet the fact that the prophet could use the marriage covenant as he did, to figure the relation of Jerusalem to Jehovah, shows how much purer was the sentiment of the Jewish people even in their worst days than that of the nations surrounding them. (See Rom 1:28.) These commonest sins of the heathen were always against the Hebrew law (Lev 21:9; Lev 21:15; Lev 20:10; Lev 20:12; Lev 20:17).
