  Raised from the most abject state to dignity and splendor by
  Jehovah, Israel became proud of her numbers, riches,
  strength, and reputation, forgetting that it was "through his
  comeliness which he had put upon them;" and thus departing
  from God, made alliances with heathen nations, and worshipped
  their idols.

  serve the idols of the heathen.

  The Jews, under Manasseh, and the succeeding kings of Judah,
  made the temple itself the scene of their open and abominable
  idolatries, in addition to all their idol temples!  which
  appears to be meant by "the eminent place," and "highplaces
  in every street," ver. 24.  Allured by the prosperity of the
  Egyptians, they also connected themselves with them, and
  joined in their multiplied and abominable idolatries.  And
  when Jehovah punished them by wars and famines, and by the
  Philistines, whose daughters are represented as ashamed of
  their enormous idolatries, instead of being amended, they
  formed alliances with the Assyrians, and worshipped their
  gods:  and they even followed every idol which was worshipped
  between Canaan and Chaldea.

  For the enormous idolatries and cruelties of Judah and
  Jerusalem, Jehovah determined to gather together the
  surrounding nations, both those with whom they had formed
  alliances, as the Egyptians and Assyrians, and such as had
  always been inimical to them, as Edom, Ammon, Moab, and
  Philistia, to inflict, or to witness, his judgments upon
  them.  Having exposed their enormous crimes to view, He would
  pass sentence upon them:  He would give Jerusalem into the
  hands of the Chaldeans, who would destroy the city and temple
  which they had polluted; level their cities and high places
  with the ground; slay, plunder, and enslave the people.
