And they served their idols, which became a snare to them. Idolatry becomes 'a snare,' a trap that ensnares Israel in perpetual unfaithfulness. The language of snare suggests both danger and entrapment, implying that idolatry is self-destructive and difficult to escape once embraced. This verse emphasizes idolatry as a trap that undermines freedom and covenant relationship.
