Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
The charge is laid against Judah for apostasy in despising holy things and profaning the Sabbaths. That Sabbath-breaking belonged to the people's continual rebellion against God. Profaning the Sabbaths stood among the sins that brought the nation into Babylonian captivity. The sin was followed by indignation and judgment, in which indignation is poured out, the people are consumed with the fire of wrath, and their own ways are repaid upon them.
Applied to later transgression, profaning the Sabbath quenches the light that should have shone. Rejecting divine warnings in that transgression brings the danger of becoming hard-hearted and spiritually blind.
