Leviticus26:30

30 And I will destroy your high places , and cut down your images , and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols , and my soul shall abhor you.

In which you will sacrifice after the manner of the Heathens. See Levit. 19. 26. Numb. 33. 52.

Or, Your images of the Sun, made for the honour and worshipping of the sun, and having some resemblance to it. See 2 Chron. 34. 7. Under this one kind of Idolatry famous and frequent in those times and places he contains all the rest.

So he calls them, either to signifie that their Idols how specious soever or glorious in their eyes were in truth but lifeless and contemptible carcases, having eyes but see not, &c. Psal. 115. 5. or to shew that their Idols should be so far from helping them that they should be thrown down and broken with them and both should lie together in a forlorn and loathsome state.

Marginal references: 2 Chro. 34. 7. Ezek. 6. 4, 5, 13.
