Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 19:4

4 Because they have forsaken me , and have estranged this place , and have burnt incense in it unto other gods , whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents .

The Lawes, Statutes, and Ordinances which God had given them, to direct them both in their Religious Behavior towards him, and in their civil Conversations.

Either this City, or this Temple, (which stood very nigh to this valley,) or this particular valley, which they had turned to an use quite contrary to the end for which God gave it them;

for in it they had paid a religious homage to idols, strange idols which their Fathers knew not,

and had filled that place with the bloud of such as had not deserved death, either innocent men, or children, that they had there sacrificed to idols; of which he afterward speaketh more particularly.
