Exegesis
The adversative ve’at {וְאַ֨תְּ | wə-ʾat} ‘but you’ introduces a shift to natat {נָתַ֤תְּ | nā-tat} ‘you gave’ your gifts (et-nedanaikh {אֶת־נְדָנַ֙יִךְ | et-nə-da-na-yikh}) to lekol meahavayikh {לְכָל־מְאַֽהֲבַ֔יִךְ | lə-kol mə-ʾa-hă-vay-ikh} ‘all your lovers,’ reversing the expected flow.
In context — Ezekiel 16:33
To all prostitutes , gifts are given, but you gave your gifts to all your lovers and bribed them to come to you from all around in your whoredoms , O woman.
