| King James | If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| If they break my statutes - Margin, "profane." The Hebrew word means to pollute or defile; and the idea is, If they practically contemn them; if they regard them as things of nought, or treat them with disdain as a polluted or defiled thing. It is in this way that the mass of mankind do regard the commands of God. They treat them with no respect; they practically class them among objects that are polluted, and that are to be avoided as defiled and defiling. And keep not my commandments - If they do not regulate their conduct by my laws. |
