Ezekiel 20:16

Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths ,.... Which were just causes of divine resentment and anger; See Gill on Ezekiel 20:13 ;

for their heart went after their idols ; which they had served in Egypt; and that led them off from the true worship and service of God; no man can serve two masters; if he holds to the one, and his heart is towards him, he will despise the other; and yet these idols were no other, as the word signifies, than dunghill gods, as in Ezekiel 20:16 ; and such are all worldly things, in comparison of God, that the heart of man is going after.
