What are there more views, more of the same like abominations? Yes! here are the women of Israel introduced as well as the men, in their open and daring impiety. The former transgressions were in the chambers of retirement, but these latter are open; they seem lost to all shame; they are at the door of the gate. It is not said what this Tammuz was: most probable an idol of a peculiar kind, for the women are said to be weeping for it. But it hath been thought by some, that with their idolatry they mingled whoredom; and as such, like the crocodile, were found shedding tears over this pitiful image, the more easily, perhaps to take their prey, in such as stopped to remark their great tenderness. 1 Samuel 2:22. Oh! Lord! to what a state hath sin humbled our nature!
