And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
Ver. 18. And first,] i.e., Before I restore them. I will recompense their iniquity and their sin
double,] i.e., Abundantly. a I will have my full pennyworths of them; not double to their deserts, as Isaiah 40:2 ; Isa 60:1
With the careases,] i.e., With their idolatries, more odious and loathsome than any stinking carcases can be.
