Now aI will gather them;
And they shall1 sorrow a little,
Because of the1 burden of bthe king of princes.
bBut the Lord does not accept them.
cNow He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins.
They shall return to Egypt.
And has built1 temples;
Judah also has multiplied cfortified cities;
But dI will send fire upon his cities,
And it shall devour his1 palaces.”

Hosea 8:11
Many altars to sin - Though it does not appear that the Jews in Babylon were obliged to worship the idols of the country, except in the case mentioned by Daniel, yet it was far otherwise with the Israelites in Assyria, and the other countries of their dispersion. Because they had made many altars to sin while they were in their own land, they were obliged to continue in the land of their captivity a similar system of idolatry against their will. Thus they felt and saw the evil of their idolatry, without power to help themselves.
