This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
They rebelled against me; so great a sin is idolatry, it is against God, as open hostility is against a sovereign whom subjects fight against. All sin is against God, but idolatry is much more so.
And would not hearken unto me; their wills were alienated from God, they refused to hear and obey in this. They did not forsake the idols of Egypt; it is probable there were some among them that carried with them (as Rachel did her father’s) the idols of Egypt.
Then I said; I was just upon resolving, I was very near saying.
I will pour out, as a storm or mighty shower,
my fury; just and severe wrath.
To accomplish my anger against them; to make an end of them.
In the midst of the land of Egypt; that they should have perished in Egypt, and never come out.
