Carl's comment on 2012-11-09 16:08:00:

The verse is meant to reveal the absolute disgust Yehovah has with people who chose to follow empty idolatry, instead of entering into the fulfilling worship of Him and His ways. It actually does not go as far as the verse I believe is in Ezekiel that then states "..and do not do these things saying you are doing them unto Me. It is an abomination unto the LORD (Yahovah) your God (Elohim)."
