Gill's Notes on the Bible
And because ye have burnt incense,.... Not to Jehovah, but to the queen of heaven; which they owned they did, and determined they would; asserting it was better with them when they did it than when they omitted it; for which reason the prophet particularly mentions it, and assigns it as the cause of the present ruin and destruction of their land, city, and temple:
and because ye have sinned against the Lord; by worshipping idols; all sin is against the Lord, but especially idolatry:
and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord; by his prophets, who cautioned them against idolatry, reproved them for it, and told them what would be the consequence of it; but this they hearkened not unto, which was an aggravation of their sin:
nor walked in his law; the moral law, according to it; which is a rule of walk and conversation:
nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; as not in the moral law, so neither in the ceremonial law, and the rites of that; nor in the judicial law, and the testifications of the will of God in either of them:
therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day: that is, the desolation on their land, as in Jeremiah 44:23;
