Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:

And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it.

And I poured out my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.

Wherefore I poured out my fury upon them for the blood which they had poured out upon the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols:

Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols with which they had polluted it:

And I do pour out My fury upon them For the blood that they shed on the land, And with their idols they have defiled it.

Why I poured my fury on them for the blood that they had shed on the land, and for their idols with which they had polluted it:

So I let loose my wrath on them because of those whom they had violently put to death in the land, and because they had made it unclean with their images:

And so I poured out my indignation upon them, because of the blood which they shed upon the land, and because they defiled it with their idols.

Wherefore I poured my fury on them,.... Like a mighty flood that carries all before it, in just retaliation
for the blood they had shed upon the land; the innocent blood, as the Targum; the blood of righteous men, that opposed and reproved them for their sinful ways; the blood of the prophets, that were sent to warn them of them; and especially the blood of the Son of God; for this prophecy reaches further than to the times of the Babylonish captivity:
and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it; or, "for their dung" (m); their dunghill gods; not only for their idols, and their idolatry, before the Babylonish captivity, which they after that were free from; but for the traditions of their elders, they set up against and above the word of God; and their own legal righteousness, their idols, the works of their hands, which wore as dung; and through their attachment to which they rejected Christ and his righteousness; and which brought wrath upon them, and them into their present captivity.

The reason for their removal was their sin, which God's holiness could not let pass unpunished; just as a woman's legal uncleanness was the reason for her being separated from the congregation.
