The reality was, and is, that idolaters do not provoke the Lord to shame. The idolaters simply bring the shame on themselves. There are different times and seasons of the year when millions of people ignorantly, and yet willfully, commit the sin of idolatry. Of course God does not hate these people, He loves them and desires that they would come out of their spiritual blindness and come to Him through Jesus Christ.
