Ezekiel 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 8:18

Therefore will I also deal in fury
Being provoked by such abominable idolatries, and such horrid insolence, and most contemptuous treatment: mine eye shall not spare: neither will I have pity:
see ( Ezekiel 5:11 ) ( Ezekiel 7:4 Ezekiel 7:9 ) ; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice;
very pressingly and earnestly for help, being in great distress: [yet] will I not hear them;
as they turned their backs on him, he will turn a deaf ear to them, and not regard their cries. The Targum is,

``they shall pray before me, with a great voice, and I will not receive their prayer.''

Ezekiel 8:18 In-Context

16 et introduxit me in atrium domus Domini interius et ecce in ostio templi Domini inter vestibulum et altare quasi viginti quinque viri dorsa habentes contra templum Domini et facies ad orientem et adorabant ad ortum solis
17 et dixit ad me certe vidisti fili hominis numquid leve est hoc domui Iuda ut facerent abominationes istas quas fecerunt hic quia replentes terram iniquitate conversi sunt ad inritandum me et ecce adplicant ramum ad nares suas
18 ergo et ego faciam in furore non parcet oculus meus nec miserebor et cum clamaverint ad aures meas voce magna non exaudiam eos
