Contextual Overview

⁴⁰ Oh, how often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved his heart in that dry wasteland. ⁴¹ Again and again they tested God's patience and provoked the Holy One of Israel. ⁴² They did not remember his power and how he rescued them from their enemies. ⁴³ They did not remember his miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders on the plain of Zoan. ⁴⁴ For he turned their rivers into blood, so no one could drink from the streams. ⁴⁵ He sent vast swarms of flies to consume them and hordes of frogs to ruin them. ⁴⁶ He gave their crops to caterpillars; their harvest was consumed by locusts. ⁴⁷ He destroyed their grapevines with hail and shattered their sycamore-figs with sleet. ⁴⁸ He abandoned their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning. ⁴⁹ He loosed on them his fierce anger— all his fury, rage, and hostility. He dispatched against them a band of destroying angels.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For they provoked him to anger with their high places,.... Which they built to Baal, and other Heathen dieties:

and moved him to jealousy with their graven images; which they worshipped, see Judges 10:6, which idolatry was spiritual adultery, and so made the Lord jealous of them, who stood in the relation of a husband to them, as a man becomes jealous by the unchaste and lascivious conduct of his wife; and such a course of life the Israelites lived, throughout the reigns of the judges, at certain seasons, until the times of Eli and Samuel, when the ark was carried captive, of which mention is made in the following verses.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For they provoked him to anger with their high places - places where idols were worshipped; usually on mountains or elevated places. Leviticus 26:30; compare 1Ki 3:2; 1 Kings 12:31-32; 2 Kings 17:32; 2 Chronicles 33:17.

And moved him to jealousy - As one is when affections due to himself are bestowed upon another - as in the married life. “With their graven images.” Their idols. Graven images are here put for idols in general.
