John Gill Commentary Jeremiah 7:30

"For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in my sight, saith Jehovah: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it." — Jeremiah 7:30 (ASV)

For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, says
the Lord
Meaning not a single action only, but a series, a course of evil actions; and those openly, in a daring manner, not only before men, but in the sight of God, and in contempt of him, like the men of Sodom, (Genesis 13:13) : they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my
name, to defile it ;
that is, set their idols in the temple; here Manasseh set up a graven image of the grove, (2 Kings 21:7) which was done, as if it was done on purpose to defile it.
