Ezequiel 7:24

Ezequiel 7:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:24

Wherefore I will bring the worst of the Heathen
The Chaldeans, notorious for their cruelty, savageness, and barbarity: and they shall possess their houses;
which they have built, and thought to have lived and died in, and left them to their children for an inheritance; but the Chaldeans, and not their children, became their heirs, and inherited their houses and lands: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease;
or, "the pride of the mighty ones" ^F14; the noble and the rich; their wealth and substance, by which their pride and grandeur were supported, being takes away from them: and their holy places shall be defiled;
the temple, in which were the holy place, and the holy of holies: or, "they that sanctify them"; the priests that offered sacrifices, which only sanctified to the purifying of the flesh; even these holy persons and things, as well as holy places, would be defiled.

Ezequiel 7:24 In-Context

22 E desviarei deles o meu rosto, e profanarão o meu lugar oculto; porque entrarão nele saqueadores, e o profanarão.

23 Faze uma cadeia, porque a terra está cheia de crimes de sangue, e a cidade está cheia de violência.

24 Pelo que trarei dentre as nações os piores, que possuirão as suas casas; e farei cessar a soberba dos poderosos; e os seus lugares santos serão profanados.

25 Quando vier a angústia eles buscarão a paz, mas não haverá paz.

26 Miséria sobre miséria virá, e se levantará rumor sobre rumor; e buscarão do profeta uma visão; mas do sacerdote perecerá a lei, e dos anciãos o conselho.
