“Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.”
The statement that Israel's heart is false, and now they shall bear their guilt indicates that the nation's internal corruption (false heart) will produce external consequences (bearing guilt). The promise of judgment on their altars and sacred pillars suggests that the very instruments of false worship will become occasions for their destruction. This verse connects internal corruption to external judgment, suggesting that what is within will be exposed and punished.
