Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his own heritage. God's wrath becomes active ('kindled') and intensely personal: he 'abhorred his own heritage,' finding his covenant people repugnant. The emotional language ('abhor') suggests that God's response is not merely judicial but involves a personal sense of betrayal. This verse portrays covenant-breaking as evoking profound divine revulsion.
