As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
Go ye, serve ye every one his idols ... but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols. Equivalent to, 'I would rather have you open idolaters than hypocrites, fancying you can worship me, and yet at the same time serve idols' (Amos 5:21-22; Amos 5:25-26: cf. 1 Kings 18:21; 2 Kings 17:41; Matthew 6:24; Revelation 3:15-16). 'Go ye, serve idols,' is not a command to serve idols, but a judicial declaration of God's giving up of the half-idol, half-Yahweh worshippers to utter idolatry, if they will not serve Yahweh alone (Psalms 81:12; Revelation 22:11). And hereafter also - God anticipates the same apostasy afterward, as now.
