Ezequiel 20:3 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:3

Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them,
&c.] Give them this for an answer from me: thus saith the Lord God, are ye come to inquire of me?
no; not seriously, heartily, and in good earnest, determining to abide by the advice and counsel that might be given; or how can you have the face to inquire of me, when guilty of such abominations? [as] I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you;
knowing their wickedness and hypocrisy, which were detestable to him, and therefore would not hear what they had to say, nor give them any answer, or direct them what they should do. Sad is the case of persons when the Lord will not be inquired of by them! it is plain he has no favours to bestow upon them; for, when he has, he will put them upon inquiring of him for them, to do them unto them, ( Ezekiel 36:37 ) ; this was the case of Saul, whom God, when he inquired of him, would not answer in any of his usual ways, ( 1 Samuel 28:6 ) .

4 ¿Los juzgarás? ¿Los juzgarás, hijo de hombre? Hazles saber las abominaciones de sus padres,
5 y diles: "Así dice el Señor DIOS: 'El día que escogí a Israel y juré a los descendientes de la casa de Jacob, me di a conocer a ellos en la tierra de Egipto, y les juré diciendo: Yo soy el SEÑOR vuestro Dios;
