Because they have forsaken Me and have made this an alien place and have burned sacrifices in it to other gods, that neither they nor their forefathers nor the kings of Judah had ever know, and because they have filled this place with the blood of the innocentThat's quite the indictment. Not only have they turned to other gods, it sounds like they either started finding ones that were from far away, or were making them up on their own. Either way, they seem to have turned the Temple into a pagan polytheistic site.
On top of that, they were killing the innocent, and it doesn't sound like they're talking about animals. So what kind of crazy gods did they follow, that required human sacrifice? How could anyone think that was a good idea, or even merely necessary? How did they get to this point, after everything God had done for them?
