What the Bible says about God's Feelings
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Leviticus 26:11 God's soul, the seat of His feelings, will not abhor them. In verse 30, conversely, if they do not obey Him, He says, "I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your idols; and My soul shall abhor you."

Ezekiel 6:9 There is a lot of emotion in the word "broken." The marginal reference for it gives "crushed." God says, "I am crushed." This is how He felt in the rejection He received from Israel within this marriage. The idols represent what she greatly desired, and as the context clearly shows, what she greatly desired, God (her Husband) prohibited. This "whoring" is their fickle drive. They were always curious about how others did things. They were always ready for excitement in some new thing and ever willing to experience a variety of things. Almost always what she chased after was outside the guidelines that God gave in His commands, but to her His commands always appeared to be denying her pleasure. John W.
