16 And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me , and have burnt incense unto other gods , and worshipped the works of their own hands .

Cause sentence to be passed according to my threatning, see chap. 39.5. Or▪ I will place my bounty, and their unworthiness before them. Or I will upbraid them with their Ingratitude, Rebellion and breach of Covenant, &c. I will speak with them by thee Ieremiah, and others of my Prophets.

Either noting the persons against whom, or rather the cause for which, because they have forsaken me; the same particle being so used, chap. 13.25. and elsewhere. Or their sins whereby, as it is also expressed chap. 16.11. and 22.9.

i. e. Worshipped strange Gods▪ a Synecdoche of the part for the whole.

i. e. Their Idolatrous Images expressed here by a Periphrasis. Isa. 2.8.
