That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart - i:e., unvail and overtake with punishment the dissimulation and impiety of Israel hid in their own heart. Or rather, 'That I may punish them by answering them after their own hearts;' corresponding to "according to the multitude of his idols" (note, Ezekiel 14:4); an instance is given Ezekiel 14:9; Romans 1:28, "Even as they did not like х ouk (G3756) edokimasan (G1381)] to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind" х adokimon (G96) noun (G3563)]; 2 Thessalonians 2:11, God giving them up in wrath to their own lie.
Because they are all estranged from me through their idols. Though pretending to "inquire" of me, "in their heart" they are "estranged from me," and love "idols."
