Yechezkel 11:21 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 11:21

But [as for them]
Who remained in Jerusalem, and were not carried captive, but continued in their, own land, and worshipped idols, the same as in ( Ezekiel 11:15 ) ; whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and
their abominations;
not images of gold and silver, which cannot be said to have a heart; but devils and evil spirits worshipped in them, who are well pleased and delighted with the worship given them; so that the hearts of the devils worshipped, and the hearts of the idolatrous worshippers, were alike and agreed; wherefore their hearts were very different from those before mentioned; so far from having one heart, that their hearts were double and divided, partly after God, and partly after their idols; and so far from walking in the statutes of the Lord, that they were walking after the will of their idols, and in the worship of them; which were abominable and detestable to God, and all good men. The Targum is,

``and after the worship of their idols, and of their abominations, their heart wanders.''

I will recompense their ways upon their own heads, saith the Lord God,
that is, punish them according to their deserts, by the sword, famine, pestilence, and captivity.

Yechezkel 11:21 In-Context

19 And I will give them a lev echad, and I will put a ruach chadashah (new regenerated spirit) within you; and I will remove the lev haeven (heart of stone) out of their basar, and will give them a lev basar;

20 That they may walk in My chukkot, and be shomer over Mine mishpatim, and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their Elohim.

21 But as for them whose lev walketh after the lev of their shikkutzim and their to’avot, I will repay their derech upon their own rosh, saith Adonoi Hashem.

22 Then did the Keruvim lift up their wings, and the Ofanim (wheels) beside them; and the Kavod Elohei Yisroel was high above them.

23 And the Kavod Hashem went up from the midst of the Ir, and stood upon the har which is on the east side of the ir.
