Ezequiel 7:22

22 "Apartaré de ellos mi rostro y profanarán mi lugar secreto; entrarán en él ladrones y lo profanarán.

Ezequiel 7:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:22

My face will one turn also from them
Deny them his presence, and withdraw his protection from them; show them no favour, nor afford them any help and succour in their distress, when they cry unto him; so the Targum,

``I will cause my Shechinah to remove from them:''
unless the Chaldeans are meant, as some think, whose robberies and ravages the Lord would wink at, and not restrain, but suffer them to plunder and spoil at pleasure: since it follows, and they shall pollute my secret [place];
the holy of holies, by going into it, which none but the high priest might do, and he but once a year; though the Targum understands this of the Jews, and makes it to be a reason of what is threatened in the preceding clause, rendering it thus,
``because they have profaned the land of the house of my Shechinah:''
for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it;
as did the king of Babylon and his army; and afterwards, in the second temple, Antiochus, Pompey, and Titus Vespasian.
