Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Have estranged this place; rather, have treated this place as strange; i.e. as one that did not belong to their God, that was unholy (comp. Jeremiah 16:18, "They have defiled ray land"). With the blood of innocents; comp." Innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters" (Psalm 106:38) - the children sacrificed in Hinnom to Moloch.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Have estranged this place.--i.e., have alienated it from Jehovah its true Lord, and given it to a strange god. The words refer specially to the guilt of Manasseh (2Chronicles 33:4).The blood of innocents.--The words seem at first to refer to the Molech sacrifices, which had made the valley of Hinnom infamous. These, however, are mentioned separately in the next verse, and the prophet probably spoke rather here, as in Jeremiah 2:34; Jeremiah 7:6, of the "innocent blood" with which Manasseh had filled Jerusalem (2Kings 21:16; 2Kings 24:4, where the same word is used). . . .
