Jeremiah7:30

30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD; they have set their abomination in the house which is called by my name, to polute it.

Either Judah's posterity, Josh. 14.6. or Judah's inhabitants, which are often called their children, so chap. 2.16.

i. e. Though they will not see it, yet I see it, and they shall know, that it is in my sight, i. e. that it displeaseth me.

Here he instanceth in one species of their abominations for all the rest, whereby it appears they were grown to a great height of impiety; it was not enough to have their Idols, and superstitions abroad in the Hills and Groves, nor in private in their own Houses, Isa. 57.6, 7, 8. chap. 19.13. but they must bring them into Gods House, as Manasses did, 2 King. 21.4. God having but one House in the World, as it were to confront him, 2 Chron. 36.14. chap. 32.34. Ezek. 43.8.

Marginal references: 2 Kin. 21.4▪ 2 Chron. 32.4. Ezek. 8.5, 6.
