But [as for them]
Who remained in Jerusalem, and were not carried captive, but
continued in their, own land, and worshipped idols, the same as
in ( Ezekiel
11:15 ) ; whose heart walketh after the heart of their
detestable things and
their abominations;
not images of gold and silver, which cannot be said to have a
heart; but devils and evil spirits worshipped in them, who are
well pleased and delighted with the worship given them; so that
the hearts of the devils worshipped, and the hearts of the
idolatrous worshippers, were alike and agreed; wherefore their
hearts were very different from those before mentioned; so far
from having one heart, that their hearts were double and divided,
partly after God, and partly after their idols; and so far from
walking in the statutes of the Lord, that they were walking after
the will of their idols, and in the worship of them; which were
abominable and detestable to God, and all good men. The Targum
is,
``and after the worship of their idols, and of their abominations, their heart wanders.''I will recompense their ways upon their own heads, saith the Lord God,
