Commentators emphasize that attempting to combine the worship of the true God with worldly practices or idols is spiritually dangerous. Charles Spurgeon calls this mixture "most loathsome" in God's sight, while Matthew Henry describes it as a "feigned submission" that vainly tries to reconcile God's service with the love of the world.
