Did not your fathers thus, etc.] Profane the sabbath in like manner: and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon our city? suffered them to be carried captive into a strange land, and their city destroyed for their sins, and for this of sabbath breaking among the rest, (see <241721>Jeremiah 17:21-27 <262016>Ezekiel 20:16,21,24), yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath; additional judgments to those that had been already upon them for the same evil with others.
