Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In general, they did evil, nothing could be more evil, that is, more provoking to God, nor more prejudicial to themselves, and it was in the sight of the Lord; all evil is before him, but he takes special notice of the sin of having any other god.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan
