Looking with an eye to the captivity in Babylon, the Lord threatens Israel with removing them from the holy land. Indeed, an unfaithful wife ought not to dwell under the roof with her injured husband. The Lord is very jealous for his honor. And when that Israel no longer dwells in the Lord's land, how shall she enjoy the Lord's sacrifices?
