Commentary on Jeremiah 7:30

Theological / Devotional

Set their abominations. Manasseh had profaned the house of God by placing in it a graven image of Asherah (see 2 Kings 21:5, 7 see on Jer. 7:18). The people were not content to carry on licentious rites at the old Canaanite shrines or to burn incense to the host of heaven on the roofs of their houses (see Jer. 19:13), but they went so far as to pollute God’s dwelling place (see chs. 23:11; 32:34).
