Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

19:5 They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire [for] burnt offerings to Baal, which I {c} commanded not, nor spoke [it], neither came [it] into my mind:
(c) By which is declared that whatever is not commanded by God's word concerning is service is against his word.

WES:

19:5 To burn - This and the following verse , contain another great sin of this people, with the punishment which God proportions to it. The sin in the general was idolatry, but a most barbarous species of it, mentioned also chap.7:31 32:35, where it is said, they made their sons and their daughters pass thro' the fire to Molech; the place where they did it is called Tophet, ver.19:6, of which also mention is made, Isa 30:33. Baal and Molech, signify the same thing; Baal signifies a Lord, Molech a King. Both Baal and Molech seem common names to all idols.

MHC:

19:1-9 The prophet must give notice of ruin coming upon Judah and Jerusalem. Both rulers and ruled must attend to it. That place which holiness made the joy of the whole earth, sin made the reproach and shame of the whole earth. There is no fleeing from God's justice, but by fleeing to his mercy.
