1192. In verse 10 just above the subject was evils present in worship, which were meant by Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. In the present two verses the subject has been the falsities in worship, meant by Nineveh, Rehoboth, Calah, and Resen. Falsities consist of assumptions based on reasonings, evils consist of desires arising out of love of the world and self-love.
