Gill's Notes on the Bible
And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double,.... Or, "but first I will recompense", c. f meaning, before he showed favour to them, and returned their captivity,
Jeremiah 16:15, he would punish them according to their sins; not double to what they deserved, but to what: they were used to have, or he was used to inflict upon them, punishing them less than their sins deserved; but now he would reward them to the full, though not beyond the measure of justice, yet largely and abundantly, and with rigour and severity. Some understand this of God's gathering together all their sins and iniquities "from the beginning" g, as they render the word; the sins of their fathers and their own, and punishing them for them all at once; or first their fathers' sins, and then their own, in which they imitated their fathers, and filled up the measure of their iniquity. So the Targum,
"and I will render to the second as to the first, for everyone of both, their iniquities and their sins.''
Because they have defiled my land; out of which he cast the Canaanites for the same reason; and which he chose for the place of his residence and worship, and settled the people of Israel for that purpose in it: that they might serve him in it, and not do as the Heathens before them had done, and which yet they did; and this was what was provoking to him.
They have filled mine inheritance with the carcasses of their detestable and abominable things; with their idols, which were not only lifeless, but stinking, loathsome, and abominable; or unclean creatures, which were sacrificed unto them; and some think human sacrifices, the bodies of men, are meant: places of idolatrous worship were set up everywhere in the land, and therefore it is said to be filled therewith; and it was an aggravation of their wickedness, that this was done in a land which the Lord had chosen for his own possession, and had given to Israel as an inheritance.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
First - Before the return from exile.
I will recompense their iniquity ... double - The ordinary rule of the Law (Isaiah 40:2 note). Sin is twofold; there is the leaving of Godâs will undone, and the actual wrongdoing. And every punishment is twofold: first, there is the loss of the blessing which would have followed upon obedience, and secondly, the presence of actual misery.
Because they have defiled ... - Rather, âbecause they have profaned My land with the carcases of their detestable thingsâ (their lifeless and hateful idols, the very touch of which pollutes like that of a corpse, Numbers 19:11); âand hare filled My inheritance with their abominations.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 16:18. The carcasses of their detestable - things. — Either meaning the idols themselves, which were only carcasses without life; or the sacrifices which were made to them.
