This was the sin of
Sodom
1 CORINTHINS 6:9
GOD forbids it , is an
abomination, , and GOD
declares it as, detestable,
disgusting, repugnant,
repulsive, strong
disapproval to GOD.
GOD gave man a sexual
organ and a woman a
sexual organ, each made
for the other, the organ of
man is not for another
man; neither was the
woman’s organ made for
another woman, man and
woman were made to fit
together and to share
together , homosexuality
here is labeled as
repulsive it is not part of
the plan of GOD for such
human relation.

NEITHER SHALT THOU
LIE WITH ANY BEAST
TO DEFILE THY SELF
Sexual relations with an
animal perverts and
defiles a person,
unnatural , abnormal act
between a man and on
animal, violates the very
GOD-given relationship
between man and animal,
which was connected with
the worship of Goat, lying
with Dogs, Cow etc, man
is to live a holy life before
GOD separated and set
apart to fulfilled God-
given purpose
IT IS CONFUSION
It is a mixing of the seed
of man and beast
together, a blending of
different kinds of
creatures, a altering the
other of nature, and
introducing the utmost
confusion of being, from
whence monsters in
nature may arise

24) Defile not yourself in
any of these things; for in
all these the nations are
defile which I cast out
before you
25)And the land is defiled;
there I do visit the iniquity
therefore upon it, and the
land itself vomiteth out
her inhabitants
|
DEFILE NOT
YOURSELF
The waring is that
believer must not defiles
himself in any of the illicit,
perverted sexual act, it
defiles a person and the
land, which was common
with the Canaanites and
other worldly nations,
immorality made the land
unfit and unworthy for
GOD’s presence, the
reason why the
Canaanites were cast out
before the Israelites was
that they were defiled in
all things and the land
defiled by them, GOD
visited the iniquity of
these corrupted races,
and the land itself vomited
out her inhabitant on
account of their
abominations.
Immorality made the land
unfit and unwholesome
for GOD’s people, which
made evil influence
contaminate them and
lead them astray, it made
them unfit, the land
become corrupted,
defiled, despicable
because of immorality,
GOD punished the land
because of the
detestable sin, the land
vomited or removed the
people from the land, in
all these the nations are
defiled which GOD cast
out before them.
Ancient history gives
many appalling proofs
that the enormous vices
described in the various
chapter were very
prevalent and regular
practice from religious
motives in the temples of
Egypt and grooves of
Canaan, and it was these
gigantic social disorders
that occasioned the
expulsion, of the
inhabitants, the Israelite
were urged to a pure and
holy life, to make room
for the Israelite, the fate of
the Canaanites was
therefore a witness to
them what will be their
fate if they did like them, it
was upon this high
sanction that they are
authoritatively forbidden
not to defile themselves
with the pollutions of the
Pagan practice of the
corruptible sinners of
Canaanites
And the land itself
vomited out her
inhabitants; as a stomach
loaded with corrupt and
bad food it has taken in,
disgusts it, and cannot
bear and retain it, but cast
it out
The believer must not
allow any of such immoral
behavior, defied not
yourselves in any of these
things he must obey
GOD, live a holy, moral
and pure life.

26) Ye shall therefore
keep my statues and my
judgments, and shall not
commit any of these
abomination ; neither any
of your own nation, nor
any Stanger that
sojourneth among you
27) For all these
abominations have the
men of the land done,,
which were before you,
and the land is defiled
28) That the land spew
not you out also, when ye
defile it, as it spewed out
the nations that were
before you
|
YE SHALL THEREFORE
KEEP MY STATUES
Ye shall therefore keep
my statues and my
judgment, and shall not
commit any of these
abominable things,
neither any of your
nations nor any stranger ,
should not commit any of
these,
the land vomits forth its
present inhabitants, the
Canaanites, as a result of
inconsequence of the
indulgence in the
abominations, GOD
therefore visits the iniquity
upon it, as massive and
habitual sinners, were
cast out, which is
punishment inflicted by a
ruler whose law had been
unacceptably outraged .
For all these abomination
have the men of the land,
which were before you
the Canaanite done, the
then present inhabitants
of Canaan, who dwelt in it
before the Israelite came
into it; had long dwelt
there, these were guilty of
unclean intercourse
sodomy/homosexual ,
but now about to be cast
out for their sins, and
therefore they who were
going to succeed them
should take warning by
them, lest, committing the
same sins, they should be
cast out like wise
THAT THE LAND SPEW
NOT YOU OUT ALSO
When you defiled the land
by committing all the
abomination, by sinning
on it, and so rendering it
abominable to the curse
of GOD, as the whole
earth originally was for sin
of man; and so be cast
out was out of Canaan of
it, as Adam was out of
paradise, and as the
Israelites might expect to
be cast out of Canaan as
the old inhabitants ,as it
spewed out the nations
that were before them,
that the land spue not you
out also, when you defiles
it, as it spued out the
nations that were before
you, both for wicked
marriages of same-sex,
religious child sacrifice
and humankinds having
sex with animals which is
confusion, the land will
reject, vomit His people
out, all persons who
engage in forbidden and
corrupt co-habitation of
same sex, child sacrifice
and sex with animal, no
matter who the persons
are, they will be cut off
from GOD and from the
people , the believer must
keep GOD’S laws and live
a life of separation, he
must not follow any of
these detestable Customs
of the worldly

LEVITICUS 20:22
|
20)Ye shall therefore
keep all My statutes, and
all My judgment, and do
them; that the land,
whither I bring you to
dwell there in, Spue you
not out
|
THAT THE LAND SUE
NOT OUT
Ye shall therefore keep all
My statues, all the
ordinances and do them;
all the Commandment of
GOD that the Land spew
you not out; as the
stomach does it food,
when it is detestable and
unwell to it and it cannot
bear it
|
|
LEVITICUS 25:23
|
23)The Land shall not be
sold for ever: for the land
is mine; for ye are
strangers and sojourners
with me
|
The land belongs to
GOD, he gives the land to
the people, but it is only
temporary, the land is a
gift from GOD as indeed
the whole earth is, but the
land of Canaan was
peculiarly GOD’S, which
He had chosen above all
other lands for the
inheritance of His people;
out of which He drove the
old inhabitants the
Canaanites of it ,for their
sins , and put His own
people to possess it

SO YOU SHALL NOT
POLLUTE THE LAND
So you shall not pollute
the land wherein you are,
no Land was to be
polluted by murder,
bloodshed or murder
pollute the land , as it had
been by the old
inhabitants of it, by
idolatry ,adultery and
murder, for the blood it
defiled the land; the
shedding of innocent
blood defiles a nation,
and the inhabitants of it,
bring guilt upon them and
punishment, the LORD
places the sin of murder
in its true light, the land,
His land, is defiled with
the innocent blood of the
slain, and the land cannot
be cleansed of the blood
that is shed therein, but
by the blood of him that
shed it; or there can be no
amends or” atonement
made for it in any other
way; the blood of the
murderer and nothing
can do away with the guilt
which , the blood of
murderer is required at
his hands and nothing
short of it satisfy the law
and justice , but the strict
execution of Divine
Justice upon the
murdered
DEFILE NOT THE LAND
WHEREIN I DWELL
Defiled not therefore the
land by the commission of
such atrocious crime
It is often assigned as a
reason why they should
put away all polluted
persons and things out of
the land because GOD
dwells in them, giving
reason why care should
be taken not to pollute it,
because GOD the Holy
GOD dwells there; by His
peculiar presence whence
the land is called Holy
land, it is the case of all
crimes, that they defile
the land in which they are
committed, which is the
highest of all injuries
against human society
and against GOD, whose
image man was created
and render it spiritually
detestable and unclean in
the sight of GOD,
A person has to turn his
life completely and totally
over to GOD, to live a
holy and righteous life,
with all his mind and
heart, body and soul, a
person must follow GOD
by begin to love and obey
GOD, seeking to be
conformed to the very
image of CHRIST ,

SHED NOT INNOCENT
BLOOD
And shed innocent blood
the blood of those who
had committed no crime,
who did not deserve the
treatment which they
received, that is they were
sacrifice as innocent
persons and because it
was believed that they
were innocent, even the
blood of their son and of
their daughters, infants,
who could have
committed no actual sin,
were the ordinary in the
Moloch sacrifice, bloody
offering of this horrible
kind were made, not only
to Moloch, but also Baal
and other sacrifice
2 KING 3:27
JEREMIAH 19:5
And the land polluted with
blood,, with innocent
blood, the blood of their
children; with the sin of
murder; which can only
by cleansed with the
blood of the murderer,
that is, either so much
blood was poured out that
might be said that the
land is polluted with it,
that the sin was so great ,
that it defiled and pollute
the whole land, the
innocent blood shed in
the land is often declared
to have been the special
cause of GOD’S anger
against the people

5)The earth also is defiled
under the inhabitants
thereof; because they
have transgression the
laws, changed the
ordinance, broken the
everlasting covenant
|
THE EARTH ALSO IS
DEFILED UNDER THE
INHABITANTS
That the land is defiled by
sins of the people, the
wickedness of its people,
and have to be purged
from the violation by
suffering, the earth is
deceitful, or play the
hypocrites; as if it would
bring forth fruit, and bring
forth none, but is barren
and unfruitful, because of
the sin of the inhabitant,
promising and showing
we have the causes of
Divine judgment upon the
land, because they
transgress the Laws, the
law of GOD revealed to
us.
GOD’S judgment is
coming due to the sin,
wickedness, and
unrighteousness of
people, their sin have
defiled the earth, due to
the selfishness and
iniquity of the people, the
earth has been polluted
and corrupted, all forces
of nature that can be so
beautiful have become
destructive that often kill
innocent people and
animals and destroy land
in all its natural beauty,
wickedness sweep
through the earth, human
beings are selfish, sinful
because they deny and
reject GOD
They disobeyed GOD’S
commandment, when
people live righteously,
simply stated righteous
people do what is right,
they treat other people as
they themselves want to
be treated, and they love
and care for their
neighbor, people who
obey GOD’S
commandment live moral
lives that honor both GOD
and man
Those who do not keep
GOD’S commandments,
steal, kill, covet more of
wealth and possession
money lies, deceit and
often oppress people to
secure even more money
and things, they either
turn to their false gods or
to the world in search of
riches, property and fame,
judgment comes
because people have
broken GOD’S everlasting
covenant, the covenant of
conscience , the inner
sense of right and wrong
that exists in the heart of
every human being only a
truthful evaluation of our
lives will stir us to turn to
CHRIST for Salvation,
and only CHRIST can
save us from the coming
judgment, because GOD
universal judgment is
coming on the earth.

LORD cometh out of his

inhabitants of the earth for
their iniquity: the earth
also shall disclose her
blood, and shall no more
cover her slain
|
THE LORD COMETH
OUT OF HIS PLACE TO
PUNISH THE
INHABITANT
The LORD is about to
come out of His heavenly
place, GOD as
omnipresent is
everywhere, but as
heaven is the seat of
majesty , and manifestly
displays his glory, when
he is said to do anything
remarkable on earth, he is
said to come out of His
place, and come down,
especially in in the
application of his power
and justice, in a way of
punishing sin, which
comes down from the
throne of grace and
mercy, where he punish
the inhabitants of the
earth for their
wickedness,, their sin,
their injustice,
wrongdoing , the earth will
reveal the innocent blood
shed upon her and will no
longer cover her slain, to
visit the iniquity of the
inhabitants of the earth
upon him, and shall also
disclose her blood, the
blood shedding; the many
murders committed by
man upon the surface, the
bloodshed cries to GOD
for vengeance GENESIS
4:10, Can and the blood
of Abel.
The innocent blood which
hath been spilled upon
the earth shall be brought
to light, and shall be
severally revenged upon
the murderers, streams of
blood come to light and

will vomit and cast out the
innocent blood, which it

13) If I shut heaven that
there be no rain, or if I
command the locusts to
devour the land, or if I
send pestilence among
My people
14) IF my people, which
are called by My name,
shall humbled
themselves, and pray,
and seek My face, and
turn from their wicked
ways then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive
their sin and I will heal
their land
|
IF I SHUT HEAVEN
THAT THERE BE NO
RAIN
If the people’s sin sparks
GOD’S judgment to cause
drought or loss of crops or
some plague among
them, they could stop the
Judgment, they could be
saved and delivered by
taking action, they must
confess their sin to GOD,
He is the only living and
true GOD, the only savior
and LORD of the
universe, therefore, they
must become His
followers, as part of the
people who are called by
His name and bear
witness to His name,
thus a national
repentance and
reformation is required,
GOD expects, that if His
people, who are called by
His name, have
dishonored His name by
their iniquity, they should
honor it by accepting the
punishment, GOD people
must recognized their
failure of moral decline,
spiritual apathy and
worldly compromise, is
famine, barrenness and
plague as a result of
their iniquity ,they must
humble themselves
before GOD, under His
hand instead of rebelling
against Him , being
obstinate and stubborn
and insisting on living life
as they wished, GOD’S
people must cry out
desperately to Him for
mercy and must
completely depend and
trust Him for His
intervention, the prayer
must be earnest , they
must humble themselves
to obey His
commandments and live
a godly life.
They must pray for the
removal of the judgment
and seek His face and
favor, GOD’S people
must diligently turn to HIM
with their whole heart and
long for His presence and
ask for forgiveness, they
must also seek
deliverance from His
reprimand and discipline,
they must repent, turn
away from their sinful
behavior and turn back to
GOD, they must
genuinely they must
repent by from all forms of
idolatry, renounce
conformity to the world,
confessing and humbling
themselves and draw
nearer to GOD, and even
praying and asking
forgiveness , their
sincerity and truthfulness
would be proven only
when they turn away from
their sin, thus repentance
is always necessary to
receive the forgiveness
and salvation of GOD, He
will forgive their wicked
ways and heal their land,
He will stop the hand of
judgment and the people
will recover from their
loss, both individuals and
the nations would
experience the mercy and
forgiveness of GOD, and
the land owned by
repentance of individuals
and by the nation as a
whole would be healed no
matter what a person’s
occupation or position in
life, if he confessed and
humble himself before
the LORD, praying and
seeking Him and
repenting of his wicked
ways GOD would forgive
and heal both the
repentant sinner and the
nation

BEHOLD YOU TRUST IN
LYING WORD Behold
you trust in lying
words ,the people were
hypocritical and are
committing great error,
they were trusting in
deceptive teaching of the
false preaching and
teaching, that cannot
profit; temple worship and
service, legal sacrifices
and ceremonies, could
not take away sin or
justify men and render
them acceptable to GOD,
without faith in the blood
and sacrifice of JESUS
CHRIST, were of no
benefit, and could never
be thought to be of any
use and profit, with such
abomination indulge by
them, by stealing, murder,
adultery or swearing
falsely, burning incense
to Idol worshipping other
gods, which is false gods,
they do all these with
impunity
They were attending
worship services while
living sinful lives, they
believe that going to the
Temple and worshipping
GOD secured His favor
and made them
acceptable, safe, and
secure, they felt that they
could go to worship on
the Sabbath and live as
they wanted, but it was
said about their behavior
is nothing more than
hypocrisy pray and
confess you break he
says, the ten
Commandments, and
then you go to the
Temple; and when the
service is over you say,
we are delivered, who are
guilty of such immoralities
and idolatry, the promise
and promise of GOD are
not given to hypocrites ,
people who profess His
name but live unrighteous
lives, they were
repeatedly breaking the
commandment of GOD
A DEN OF ROBBERS
Those who rob with
violence, the
Temple/church was the
place which sheltered
them, who, when they
have robbed not only to
share their spoil, but to
hide literally, there were
making GOD’S house a
den of thieves stealing
from member of the
congregation, wives,
husbands, neighbors,
employers, teachers and
friend, but when the
Sabbat come they rush
through the religious
ritual, thinking that GOD
forgive them to steal,
such behavior makes
GOD,S house a den of
thieves and did nothing
more expose their
hypocrisy, after they had
committed such gross
enormities , came into the
Church/Temple and
offered sacrifices; thinking
hereby to Cover their
sins, and remove the guilt
from them and to be
looked upon them as
goodman, and true
worshippers of GOD,
when they were not better
than thieves and robbers;
such were the Pharisees
in CHRIST days
MATTHEW 21:13
Behold, even I have seen
it, saith the LORD, not
only all the abominations
committed by them, GOD
issue a strong warning to
the people, that he is
watching their hypocritical
worship, their worthless
worship, He saw their
wicked behavior their
violation of the Holy
Commandments, that He
had judged their
forefathers’ GOD urge
them to go to the former
worship center at Shiloh,
where the temple was at
first and see what total
destruction of the place
because of sin, this
destruction took place in
the days of Eli and
Samuel 1 SAMUEL 4:11-
17,22 now the LORD
would have these people
consider what was done
to Shiloh; that though this
was the first place where
the Tabernacle, but they
use the Temple and the
worship of it, all the
Hypocrisy of their hearts,
and the inward thought of
them, and their views and
intention in their offerings
and sacrifices; as well as
what ruin and destruction
the LORD designed to
bring shortly upon them,
and upon the house
which they had made a
den of robbers
Going to church to
worship does us no good
unless we are living for
the LORD, GOD accepts
our worship only if we
truly repent of our sins
and live obediently and
righteously worshipping
for true repentance and
listing what GOD Holy
word says
BECAUSE YOU HAVE
DONE ALL THESE
WORK
And now because you
have done all these
works, saith the LORD,
which is the evil and
wicked work, such as
theft, murder, adultery,
falsehood and idolatry on
account of the false
worship, and I spake unto
you, rising up early, that is
by the prophets GOD’S
servant, whom He sent
unto them, and by whom
He spoke, which shows
the LORD great concern
for His people, his early
care of them, in sending
His prophets/servant at

and rescue them

hear not, the people
would not listen to the
word of the prophets and

quenched

The detestable sin that
separate the people from
GOD, children fathers and
women all member of the
family take spart in this
idolatry the entire
population was
worshipping false gods,
especially the false god
Ishtar, the Babylonian
goddess of love and
fertility, throughout the
city the entire families
supported this false
religion, , Children
gathered wood while their
fathers lit the fires, they
heat the oven, hearth, or
stone on which they were
baked, and women
kneaded the dough to
make bread/Cakes;
prepare all the materials
of which to make the cake
to offer to the false
“Queen of Heaven” this
was the false religion
established, which is here
intended; the corruption
was universal; and
therefore the whole body
was ripe for ruin, it was
a common practice for
people to worship and
present offerings to many
so-called gods, this not
only cut and grieved the
heart of GOD, the only
living and true GOD, but
also provokes the anger
of GOD because the
people were corrupting
themselves, their families,
and society they were all
mad upon in their
idolatries
DO THEY NOT
PROVEKE
THEMSELVES
Do they think to grieve
me, and trouble My
mind? Say the LORD,
they are deceived, I am
GOD cannot be provoked
to anger as men are;
anger does not fall upon
Him as it does on men;
there is no such affection
in GOD as there is in
men; His spirit cannot be
irritated and provoked in
the manner the Spirit of
men may be; and through
sin, and can be without
their offerings,
DO THEY NOT PROVOKE
THEMSELVES TO
CONFUSION
Do they provoke
themselves to the
confusion of their own
faces? The greatest hurt
that is done, is done to
themselves; they are the
sufferers in the end; they
bring ruin and destruction
upon themselves; and
therefore have great
reason , to be angry with
themselves, since what
they do issue in their own
shame and confusion, do
they think that they
provoke Me? Saith the
LORD is it not for evil to
themselves, that they may
be confounded in their
works
SHALL BE POURED
OUT MY ANGER AND
MY FURY
Therefore thus saith the
LORD GOD, behold My
anger and My fury shall
be poured out upon this
place; like fire, to
consume and destroy it,
as the emblem of GOD’S
wrath, and an instance of
His vengeance upon it, for
sins; which came down in
great tempest, as the
flood of water was poured
upon the old world, or the
shower of fire and
brimstone upon Sodom:
since they will provoke
Me, let them feel the
effects of their conduct,
upon man and upon
beast; upon beast for the
sake of man, they being
his property; and for his
use, upon trees of the
field and upon fruit of the
ground and it shall burn,
and shall not be
quenched; that is the
wrath of GOD shall burn
like fire, and shall not
cease until it is executed
the whole will of GOD in
the punishment of His
people due to the
wickedness and the
worldly lifestyle and false
worship, he poured His
anger on the city and
Temple on man animals
and on the land, the
unquenchable fire of His
wrath will consume
everything

30)For the children of
Judah have done evil in
My sight, saith the LORD;
they have set their
abomination in the house
which is called by My
name, to pollute it
31)And they have built
the high places of Tophet,
which is in the valley of
the Son of Hinnom, to
burn their sons and their
daughters in the fire;
which I commanded them
not, neither came it into
my heart
32)Therefore, behold, the
days come, saith the
LORD, that it shall no
more be called Tophet,
nor the valley of the son
of Hinnom, but the valley
of slaughter; for they shall
bury in Tophet, till there
be no place
33)And the Carcasses of
this people shall be meat
for the fowls of the
heaven, and for the
beasts of the earth; and
none shall fray them away
34)Then will I cause to
cease from the cities of
Judah, and from the
streets of Jerusalem, the
voice of mirth, and the
voice of gladness, the
voice of the bridegroom,
and the voice of the bride:
for the land shall be
desolate

THEY HAVE SET UP
THEIR ABOMINATIONS IN
THE HOUSE WHICH IS
CALLED BE MY NAME
They have set up Images
and altars for idolatrous
worship even in the
Temple, which is called
by My name, to defiled it;
that is set their Idols in the
Temple, set up a graven
image of the grove, which
was done, as if it was
done on purpose to defile
it,
AND THEY HAVE BUILT
THE HIGH PLACES OF
TOPHET
And have built the high
places of Tophet, which is
in the valley of Ben-
Hinnom, use as a place
of worship idols and
sacrifice of children, to
burn their sons and their
daughters in the fire
concerning this unnatural
and cruel customs of
burning their children, by
way of sacrifice to
Moloch, which was
derived from the
Canaanites, a practice
strictly forbidden
LEVITICUS 18:21 which I
commanded them not,
Which I expressly forbid
IT SHALL BE NO MORE
CALLED TOPHET BUT
VALLEY OF
SLAUGHTER
That it shall no more be
called Tophet: no more to
be used for such
barbarous and idolatrous
worship,
the valley of slaughter or
slain, where they kill their
helpless children, there
shall they be slaughtered
helplessly by their
enemies,
therefore, GOD will make
the place of their sins the
scene of judgment on the
sinners, they shall
themselves be slaughter,
massacred by their
enemies, because of the
vast number of the slain,
there will be nowhere else
to put them, rather looking
for room elsewhere, that
they shall bury as many
as the place will contain,
and the rest of the
carcasses they shall
throw on heaps, to rot
above ground, till there be
no place, that is for want
of space where the dead
should be buried even in
the sport which the
worshippers looked as
sacred , the scene of their
sin shall be that of their
punishment.
JEREMIAH 19:6-7
EZEKIEL 6:5
And the carcasses of this
people shall be meat for
the fowls of heaven, and
the beast of the earth,
that is those which remain
unburied, for which there
will be found no place to
bury them all place
particularly Tophet, being
so full of dead bodies; not
to have a burial, which is
a accounted as a great
judgment for GOD, and
none shall fray them
away; or frighten them
away; that is, drive away
the fowls vultures and
jackal feeding on them
and the beasts from the
carcasses, the sense is ,
either that there should be
such a vast consumption
of men, that there would
be none left to do this,
and so the fowls and
beasts might prey upon
the carcasses without any
distance,
THE LAND SHALL BE
DESOLATE
Then will I cause to cease
from the cities signifying
that the devastation
should not only be, the
land villages, cities would
cease shall become a
waste, thus the LORD will
put an end to all
joyfulness in life
throughout the land, the
voice of the bridegroom
and the bride; no giving in
marriage, and so express
joy of such occasions,
festivities; for the land
shall be desolate: without
people to dwell in it
GOD’S discipline does us
no good unless it arouses
us to change our
behavior, the very
purpose of His discipline
is to correct us before we
harm ourselves or
oneself, if we refuse to
heed the disciple and
continue on in our
misbehavior, there will be
serious consequence, we
will reap what we sow, if
we sow wickedness, we
will reap GOD Divine
judgment, lying, stealing,
cheating, abuse rape,
covetousness, geed, act
of lawlessness, GOD
allows us to choose to do
right or wrong but we
must be ready to bear the
consequences of sin

19)For a voice of wailing
is heard out of Zion, how
are we spoiled! We are
greatly confounded,
because we have
forsaken the land,
because our dwellings
have cast out
|
OUR DWELLINGS HAVE
CAST US OUT
For a voice of wailing is
heard out of Zion, we are
greatly confounded, filled
with shame, on account of
their vain confidence;
because we have
forsaken the land; being
obliged to it, the enemy
carrying them captive into
other country, because
our dwellings have cast
us out, because of our
iniquity, for the place is
desolate and the
principal building in
Jerusalem, as well as the
houses of the common
people, were thrown to
the ground or burnt by
fire, and particularly the
temple; so that the whole
was in a most devastating
condition.
