ROSENMULLER translates, "They ought to have been ashamed, because . . . but," &c.; the Hebrew verb often expressing, not the action, but the duty to perform it (Gen 20:9; Mal 2:7). MAURER translates, "They shall be put to shame, for they commit abomination; nay (the prophet correcting himself), there is no shame in them" (Jer 3:3; Jer 8:12; Eze 3:7; Zep 3:5).
them that fall--They shall fall with the rest of their people who are doomed to fall, that is, I will now cease from words; I will execute vengeance [CALVIN]. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
They are brought to shame because
They have "committed abomination:"
Shame nevertheless they feel not;
To blush nevertheless they know not;
"Therefore they shall fall among" the falling;
"At the time" when "I visit them, they shall" stumble,
"Saith Yahweh."
The fact is expressed that their conduct was a disgrace to them, though they did not feel it as such. "Abomination" has its usual meaning of idolatry Jer 4:1. |

| Committed - Both by encouraging the people, and joining with them in their idolatries. |
