2 Chronicles 36:14
Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
The verse stands in the closing narrative of Zedekiah's reign as a terrible arraignment of Judah. All the chief of the priests and the people transgressed very much by following after all the abominations of the heathen surrounding nations. By this they polluted the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, violating the sanctity of the temple that He had hallowed and set apart as holy.
The verse repeats the charge that both prophet and priest are profane and that God found their wickedness in His house. In that condition, wicked men presumptuously dared to stand before the people in God's name. Their example warns that God's professed people can become so conformed to the world that the distinction between those who serve God and those who do not nearly disappears.
