‏ Jeremiah 19:5

5. commanded not--nay, more, I commanded the opposite (Le 18:21; see Jr 7:31, 32).

35. cause ... pass through ... fire--By way of purification, they passed through with bare feet (Le 18:21).

Molech--meaning "king"; the same as Milcom (1Ki 11:33).

I commanded ... not--This cuts off from the superstitious the plea of a good intention. All "will-worship" exposes to God's wrath (Col 2:18, 23).

‏ Ezekiel 23:27

27. Thus ... make ... lewdness to cease--The captivity has made the Jews ever since abhor idolatry, not only on their return from Babylon, but for the last eighteen centuries of their dispersion, as foretold (Ho 3:4).
