On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The sins charged upon the people of Israel, for which God had a controversy with them, and they are, 1. Spiritual whoredom, or idolatry. They have in them a spirit of whoredoms, a strong inclination to that sin; the bent and bias of their hearts are that way; it is their own iniquity; they are carried out towards it with an unaccountable violence, and this causes them to err.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

A moral truth applicable to all times. The special reference here is to the licentious orgies connected with the Syrian worship, which lured Israel away from the pure worship of God (Isa 28:1, 7; Am 4:1). take away the heart--that is, the understanding; make men blind to their own true good (Ec 7:7).
