Geneva Study Bible

Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?


Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

30. The interrogation implies a strong affirmation, as in Eze 20:4, "Are ye not polluted . ? Do ye not commit?" &c. Or, connecting this verse with Eze 20:31, "Are ye thus polluted . and yet (do ye expect that) I shall be inquired of by you?"


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

20:27-32 The Jews persisted in rebellion after they settled in the land of Canaan. And these elders seem to have thought of uniting with the heathen. We make nothing by our profession if it be but a profession. There is nothing got by sinful compliances; and the carnal projects of hypocrites will stand them in no stead.

Jeremiah 16:12 But you have behaved more wickedly than your fathers. See how each of you is following the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying me.
Ezekiel 2:3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day.
Ezekiel 20:26 I let them become defiled through their gifts--the sacrifice of every firstborn--that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the LORD.'
Ezekiel 20:29 Then I said to them: What is this high place you go to?'" (It is called Bamah to this day.)
