Bible Comments

Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, (a) as [other] people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved (b) a reward upon every cornfloor.

(a) For even though all other people should escape, yet you will be punished.

(b) You have committed idolatry in hope of reward, and to have your barns filled ((Jeremiah 44:17)), as a harlot that had rather live by playing the whore, than to be provided for by her own husband.
