This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The children of Judah; either Judah’s posterity, Jos_14:6, or Judah’s inhabitants, which are often called their children; so Jer 2 16. In my sight, i.e. though they will not see it, yet I see it, and they shall know that it is in my sight, i.e. that it displeaseth me.
They have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name: here he instanceth in one species of their abominations for all the rest, whereby it appears they were grown to a great height of impiety. It was not enough to have their idols and superstitions abroad in the hills and groves, nor in private in their own houses, Isa_57:6-8 Jer_19:13; but they must bring them into God’s house, as Manasseh did, 2Ki_21:4; God having but one house in the world, as it were, to confront him, 2Ch_36:14 Jer_32:31 Eze_43:8.
