Ezequiel 20:24

24 porque no obedecieron mis ordenanzas. Se burlaron de mis decretos al profanar mis días de descanso y anhelar los ídolos de sus antepasados.

Ezequiel 20:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:24

Because they had not executed my judgments
Had not done that which was right and just, as the Lord commanded them: but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths;
as their fathers had done: and their eyes were after their fathers' idols;
which they had learned to serve in Egypt, or brought with them from thence; these the eyes and the hearts of their children were after, as theirs find been; and they were more desirous, encouraged, and emboldened to serve them, because they were their fathers'; but this would not excuse their sin; yea, it was rather an aggravation of it, that they should follow them in such practices, for which they had been often reproved and punished.

Ezequiel 20:24 In-Context

22 No obstante, quité mi juicio contra ellos a fin de proteger el honor de mi nombre ante las naciones que habían visto mi poder cuando los saqué de Egipto;

23 pero hice un juramento solemne contra ellos en el desierto: juré esparcirlos por todas las naciones

24 porque no obedecieron mis ordenanzas. Se burlaron de mis decretos al profanar mis días de descanso y anhelar los ídolos de sus antepasados.

25 Los entregué a decretos y ordenanzas inútiles, que no los conducirían a la vida.

26 Dejé que se contaminaran
con los mismos regalos que yo les había dado y permití que sacrificaran a su hijo mayor como ofrenda a sus dioses, para devastarlos y recordarles que solo yo soy el Señor
