This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But had not hearkened unto his counsels, but every one had walked after the imaginations of his own heart. A phrase by which sin is often expressed in holy writ, Deu_29:19 Jer_3:17 7:24 9:14 13:10 16:12 18:12 23:17. The imaginations of man’s heart are only evil, Gen_6:5 8:21. Hence holiness is set out by the notion of self-denying, not pleasing ourselves, mortifying our members, &c. For this God threateneth to bring upon them all his words of threatening annexed to the covenant of the law.
