Ezekiel23:38

38 Moreover this they have done unto me: They have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths .

Which is declared in the following words, 'twas some great injury, or affront done to God.

My Holy things, House, Altar, Sacrifices, and Oblations; one part of the Temple put for all parts of the holy things of God.

When they had newly polluted themselves with most horrid crimes, Idolatry and Murther they thrust into the Temple, whereas by the Law, if they had been but unclean by touch of a dead body, they must have been cleansed by sacrifices before they ought to come into company with the Jews.

By offering Sacrifices to Idols, and doing that on those dayes, which God, Nature, and all Civil Nations abhorre, onely the Devil is pleased with, who is a murtherer from the beginning, promotes such bloody cruelties.
