6:5 And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their {c} idols; and I will scatter your bones about your altars.
(c) In contempt of their power and force, which will neither be able to deliver you or themselves.
6:5 And - Thus the idols were upbraided with their inability to help their worshippers, and the idolaters, with the folly of trusting in them.
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.
