Commentary on Isaiah 57:7

Theological / Devotional

Set thy bed. The image is appropriate because idolatry was regarded as spiritual adultery, and the most debasing forms of immorality constituted an integral part of the supposedly sacred rites of heathen religions (see Eze. 16:15-36; see Vol. II, pp. 38-40).
