Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
Ver. 7. Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together.] Your "vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers," 1Pe 1:18 whom you have striven to out sin. Gen 15:16 Matthew 23:32 ; Matthew 23:35,36 ; Matthew 27:25 1Th 2:15-16
And blasphemed me upon the hills.] Or, Reproached or dishonoured me. Displeasing service is double dishonour, because men dishonour God in that wherein they pretend (or presume at least) to please him. Such are all Popish will-worshippers; neither will it help them to plead the example of their forefathers, for here that of the prophet Ezekiel Eze 20:18 should take place, "Walk ye not in the ways of your fathers."
Therefore will I measure into their bosom.] Or, Lap; very largely. See Psa 79:12 Luke 6:38. I will pay them home, for the new and the old together.
