The land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants— One cannot conceive a stronger figure. The land, by an elegant prosopopaeia, is personified, and represented as so sensible of the loathsome wickedness of her inhabitants, as to nauseate them on that account, and to cast them as offensive from her stomach. See Leviticus 18:28 in which it is to be wished that the word vomit had been retained, as well as in other similar passages; see ch. Leviticus 20:22.Revelation 3:16; Revelation 3:22. What an idea does all this give us of idolatry, which sanctified such horrid and detestable practices!
