Make a new thing, i.e. do such a work as was never heard before. Into the pit, i.e. into the grave which God thereby makes. The Hebrew word scheol sometimes signifies hell, and sometimes the grave, as Genesis 37:35 Psalms 55:15. Have provoked the Lord by making his words and works to be nothing but my devices and artifices.
