John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical

Nay, and Cain's curse (to be fugitives and vagabonds) is not the worst of it neither; their restless life shall be cut off by a bloody death: " I will draw out a sword after them, which shall follow them wherever they go." Evil pursues sinners; and the curse shall come upon them and overtake them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The images of their pretended deities, and the groves erected in honour of them, were brought into the temple; and the ceremonies used by idolaters were brought into the worship of God. Thus every thing that is sacred was polluted. Note, Idols are detestable things any where, but more especially so in the sanctuary.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Divine compassion defers the punishment, or mitigates it, or supports under it, or shortens it; but here is judgment without mercy, wrath without any mixture or allay of pity.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

as I live--the most solemn of oaths, pledging the self-existence of God for the certainty of the event. defiled my sanctuary--the climax of Jewish guilt: their defiling Jehovah's temple by introducing idols. diminish--literally, "withdraw," namely, Mine "eye" (which presently follows), that is, My favors; Job 36:7 uses the Hebrew verb in the same way.
