Ezekiel16:29

29 Thou hast moreover multiplyed thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea, and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.

Both increas'd the number of thy Idolatries, and made them greater in that thou hast adopted the Idols of Canaan, and all that between them, and the Chaldaeans are own'd or worshipt.

Heb. may be read towards as well as in: The Idolatry of the Iews worshipping Canaan's Idols was most intolerable, because God had so fully declar'd the vileness of it, his abhorrence thereof, and so strictly charged the Iews to keep themselves from it. How monstrously wicked is it, that in prosperity possessed of the Houses and Wealth, which thy God gave thee out of the hands of the Canaanites, and their Idols, thou forgettest God, and worshippest their Idols; And in Adversity and Captivity do'st the like, and dotest on the Idols of thine Enemies.
