Mereka menolak ketetapan-Nya dan perjanjian-Nya, yang telah diadakan dengan nenek moyang mereka, juga peraturan-peraturan-Nya yang telah diperingatkan-Nya kepada mereka; mereka mengikuti dewa kesia-siaan, sehingga mereka mengikuti bangsa-bangsa yang di sekeliling mereka, walaupun TUHAN telah memerintahkan kepada mereka: janganlah berbuat seperti mereka itu.
dicelakannya hukum undang-undang-Nya dan perjanjian yang telah didirikan Tuhan dengan nenek moyang mereka itu, dan segala firman yang telah disampaikan-Nya kepada mereka itu, dan kelakuan mereka itu menurut perkara yang sia-sia, sehingga mereka itu sendiripun menjadi sia-sia belaka, dan diturutnya adat segala bangsa yang duduk keliling mereka itu, yang ada firman Tuhan akan halnya, janganlah kiranya kelakuan mereka itu seperti bangsa itu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers,.... At Sinai and Horeb, see Exodus 24:8,
and his testimonies which he testified against them; calling heaven and earth to witness what he would do to them if they broke his laws, Deuteronomy 4:26, and which were so many testifications of his mind and will what they should do, or otherwise what should be done to them; Ben Gersom also interprets this of the feasts of the passover and tabernacles, which were witnesses of Israel's coming out of Egypt, and of the sanctification and redemption of the firstborn, a testimony of the slaying the firstborn in Egypt:
and they followed vanity; idols, which are vain things for help, can neither hear, see, speak, c.
and became vain as sottish and stupid as the idols they worshipped; which is the usual fruit and effect of idolatry, see Romans 1:21
and went after the heathen that were round about them: imitated them in their idolatrous practices, as the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, c. concerning
whom the Lord had charged them, that they should not do like them of this charge see Deuteronomy 6:13.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As idols are âvanityâ and ânothingness,â mere weakness and impotence, so idolators are âvainâ and impotent. Their energies have been wasted, their time misspent; they have missed the real object of their existence; their whole life has been a mistake; and the result is utter powerlessness. Literally, the word rendered âvanityâ seems to mean âbreathâ or âvaporâ - a familiar image for nonentity. It occurs frequently in the prophets, and especially in Jeremiah (e. g. Jeremiah 2:5; Jeremiah 8:19; Jeremiah 14:22, etc.).
