Ezequiel 36:18

18 Y derramé mi ira sobre ellos por la sangre que ellos derramaron sobre la tierra; y por sus ídolos con que la contaminaron

Ezequiel 36:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:18

Wherefore I poured my fury on them
Like a mighty flood that carries all before it, in just retaliation for the blood they had shed upon the land;
the innocent blood, as the Targum; the blood of righteous men, that opposed and reproved them for their sinful ways; the blood of the prophets, that were sent to warn them of them; and especially the blood of the Son of God; for this prophecy reaches further than to the times of the Babylonish captivity: and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it;
or, "for their dung" ^F13; their dunghill gods; not only for their idols, and their idolatry, before the Babylonish captivity, which they after that were free from; but for the traditions of their elders, they set up against and above the word of God; and their own legal righteousness, their idols, the works of their hands, which wore as dung; and through their attachment to which they rejected Christ and his righteousness; and which brought wrath upon them, and them into their present captivity.

Ezequiel 36:18 In-Context

16 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo

17 Hijo de hombre, la Casa de Israel que mora en su tierra, la han contaminado con sus caminos y con sus obras; como inmundicia de menstruosa fue su camino delante de mí

18 Y derramé mi ira sobre ellos por la sangre que ellos derramaron sobre la tierra; y por sus ídolos con que la contaminaron

19 Y yo los esparcí por los gentiles, y fueron aventados por las tierras; conforme a sus caminos y conforme a sus obras los juzgué

20 Y entrados a los gentiles adonde fueron, profanaron mi santo Nombre, diciéndose de ellos: Estos son pueblo del SEÑOR, y de la tierra de él han salido
