They have committed adultery: this seems to refer to corporal uncleannesses. Blood is in their hands; innocent blood of the murdered prophets and just men. Committed adultery; spiritual adultery, i.e. idolatry. Caused their sons to pass through the fire; most unheard of cruelty, and unnatural murders, under pretext of religion! thus Ezekiel 16:20. To devour them; they destroyed, took away the life of their sons in a barbarous manner.
