“They sacrificed to demons which were no gods, to gods they had never known, to new gods that had come in of late, whom your fathers had never dreaded” (v. 17), that is, to the idols of the field, namely, in groves, in valleys, and on mountains, about which nothing had been said to them in the Law and they had heard nothing; but since their ears itched when someone brought up some new worship, they streamed up mightily and left behind the God whom they had learned from their fathers."
