Ezequiel 6:9

9 Y los que de vosotros escaparen, se acordarán de mí entre las gentes entre las cuales serán cautivos: porque yo me quebranté á causa de su corazón fornicario, que se apartó de mí, y á causa de sus ojos, que fornicaron tras sus ídolos: y se avergonzarán de sí mismos, á causa de los males que hicieron en todas sus abominaciones.

Ezequiel 6:9 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 6:9

And they that escape of you shall remember me
Either my grace and mercy to them, as Jarchi; or the fear of me, as the Targum; and so return by repentance, and worship the Lord their God, being influenced by his kindness and goodness to them: even when among the nations, whither they shall be carried captive;
so that their afflictions should be sanctified and made useful to them: in prosperity men are apt to forget God; in adversity they are brought to a sense of themselves and duty; and happy it is when chastening dispensations are teaching ones, and bring to God, and not drive from him: because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from
me:
by committing spiritual adultery, which is idolatry. The sense is, either that he was grieved at heart with their idolatry, which was the reason of their being carried captive, which, when they were sensible of, wrought repentance in them; or that he was full of compassion towards them; his heart was tender and pitiful towards them, though they departed from him in such a dreadful manner, justly to be resented by him. The Targum is,

``I have broken their foolish heart;''
and so the Syriac and Vulgate Latin versions, "I have broken their whorish heart"; by afflictive providences humbled them, and brought them to repentance: and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols;
they committed fornication with their heart and eyes in a spiritual sense, as wicked men do in a natural sense; see ( 2 Peter 2:14 ) ; and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have
committed in all their abominations;
abominable idolatry, ( 1 Peter 4:3 ) ; when men remember God, against whom they have sinned, and consider how grieving sin is to him; and when they are broken for it themselves, they then loathe their sins, and themselves for it; and where all this is there is true repentance.

Ezequiel 6:9 In-Context

7 Y los muertos caerán en medio de vosotros; y sabréis que soy Jehová.
8 Mas dejaré que haya de vosotros quien escape del cuchillo entre las gentes, cuando fuereis esparcidos por las tierras.
9 Y los que de vosotros escaparen, se acordarán de mí entre las gentes entre las cuales serán cautivos: porque yo me quebranté á causa de su corazón fornicario, que se apartó de mí, y á causa de sus ojos, que fornicaron tras sus ídolos: y se avergonzarán de sí mismos, á causa de los males que hicieron en todas sus abominaciones.
10 Y sabrán que yo soy Jehová: no en vano dije que les había de hacer este mal.
11 Así ha dicho el Señor Jehová: Hiere con tu mano, y huella con tu pie, y di: ¡Ay de los males de la casa de Israel por todas las abominaciones! porque con cuchillo, y con hambre, y con pestilencia caerán.
