Ver. 36. And they served their idols] The devil is ειδωλοχαρης, saith Synesius, a lover of idolatry, and he speaks through idolaters as through his trunks, persuading people to like practice, as did Julian, whom an ancient, therefore, called Idolian.
Which were a snare unto them] Or, a ruin, as some render it; they were first drawn in, and then undone by them.
