Ezequiel 20:31

31 Pues, cuando les presentas ofrendas y les sacrificas a tus niños en el fuego,
te contaminas con ídolos hasta el día de hoy. ¿Y yo debería permitirte, pueblo de Israel, que me pidas un mensaje? Tan cierto como que yo vivo, dice el Señor
Soberano, que no te diré nada.

Ezequiel 20:31 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:31

For when ye offer your gifts
And sacrifices to idols. The Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, the firstfruits of your gifts;
it may design their firstborn; see ( Ezekiel 20:26 ) as the following clause seems to explain it: when ye make your sons to pass through the fire;
or between two fires to Moloch, as their fathers had done before them; ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day;
by worshipping idols, or dunghill gods, as the word signifies, as often observed; they defiled themselves with those filthy things, which they continued to do to that very day, and so became more and more polluted; and were as their fathers had been, and therefore must expect to be used in like manner: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel?
can you think that I will suffer you to come and inquire of me or to make your requests to me? or can you hope to have an answer from me; at least a favourable one, such as you could wish for? as I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you;
so confirming again with an oath what he had before declared, ( Ezekiel 20:3 ) , wherefore they might assure themselves that they would not be acceptable to him, neither their persons nor petitions, or be regarded by him.

31 Pues, cuando les presentas ofrendas y les sacrificas a tus niños en el fuego,
te contaminas con ídolos hasta el día de hoy. ¿Y yo debería permitirte, pueblo de Israel, que me pidas un mensaje? Tan cierto como que yo vivo, dice el Señor
Soberano, que no te diré nada.

32 »”Tú dices: ‘Queremos ser como las naciones que nos rodean, que sirven a ídolos de madera y de piedra’; pero eso que piensas nunca sucederá.

33 Tan cierto como que yo vivo, dice el Señor
Soberano, te gobernaré con puño de hierro, con gran enojo y con imponente poder.
