Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect vehishbatikh {וְהִשְׁבַּתִּיךְ | wə-hiš-bāṯ-tîḵ} ‘I will cause you to cease’ shifts perspective to the divine speaker, targeting mizzonah {מִזּוֹנָה | miz-zō-nāh} ‘harlotry’.
Root and etymology
“daughter”
In context — Ezekiel 16:41
And they will burn your houses with fire, and they will execute judgments against you before the eyes of many women. And I will cause you to cease from your harlotry , and you will never give your hire again.
