Psalms 106:29

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions,.... Sin is an invention of man's: when our first parents sinned, they found out many inventions; and their posterity ever since have been inventors of evil things; and man's invention is very quick at that work.

All false doctrine and false worship are of men's finding out; all idolatrous practices are their inventions, and which are here intended; see Ps 106:39. And these are very provoking to God, who is jealous of his glory, and which is taken from him hereby; and even when he forgives such sins of men, he takes vengeance on their inventions, as in this case, Ps 99:8.
