ExplanationCommentary
Verse 10. Bethel, which was defiled. 1 Kennicott. 21:5. God would thus caution us to keep at the greatest distance ( Tirinus.) possible from evil company, ( Bible.) and from whatever may lead to sin. Menochius.—Besides the literal sense, Sanchez believes that the prophet was thus admonished to comply exactly with his injunctions, and to leave nothing unfinished; as God says, by the way that he came, he shall return, (Isaiah 37:34) to denote that Sennacherib’s attempts should be frustrated. Calmet.
