This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





And come and stand before me in this house; in the temple; either as if they had done no such thing, like the whore, that wipes her mouth, and saith she hath done no wickedness, Pro_30:20, noting their deep hypocrisy; or else that barely this would expiate for all their abominations, as if they could make God amends for their sins by their duties; and their posture of standing notes their service, 1Ki_10:8 Pro_22:29.



Which is called by my name; that is acknowledged to bc my house, and bears my name, dedicated to me.



We are delivered to do all these abominations; that is, after they had appeared before God with their sacrifices, either they thought themselves safe from all danger, and freed from God’s judgments, Mal_3:15; or rather privileged to return to all those wickednesses again, hereby noting their impudence. See Isa_1:12, &c. LXX. read it, we have abstained from all these abominations, as if these were the lying words in which they trusted.
