6:4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your {b} images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.
(b) Read 2Ki 23:14.
6:4 Cast down - Before the altars of your idols, which you fly to for refuge.
6:1-7. War desolates persons, places, and things esteemed most sacred. God ruins idolatries even by the hands of idolaters. It is just with God to make that a desolation, which we make an idol. The superstitions to which many trust for safety, often cause their ruin. And the day is at hand, when idols and idolatry will be as thoroughly destroyed from the professedly Christian church as they were from among the Jews.
