Ezequiel 16:2

2 Hijo de hombre, haz saber a Jerusalén sus abominaciones,

Ezequiel 16:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:2

Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations.
] That is, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, as the Targum; these are mentioned instead of the whole body of the people, because that Jerusalem was the metropolis of the nation, whose sins were very many and heinous: called "abominations", because abominable to God, and rendered them so to him; particularly their idolatries are meant; which, though committed by them, and so must be known to them, yet were not owned, confessed, and repented of by them, they not being convinced of the evil of them; in order to which the prophet is bid to set them before them, and show them the evil nature of them; and which he might do by writing to them, for he himself was now in Chaldea with the captives there. The Targum is,

``son of man, reprove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and show them their abominations.''

Ezequiel 16:2 In-Context

1 Entonces vino a mí la palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo:

2 Hijo de hombre, haz saber a Jerusalén sus abominaciones,

3 y di: "Así dice el Señor DIOS a Jerusalén: "Por tu origen y tu nacimiento eres de la tierra del cananeo, tu padre era amorreo y tu madre hetea.

4 'En cuanto a tu nacimiento, el día que naciste no fue cortado tu cordón umbilical, ni fuiste lavada con agua para limpiarte; no fuiste frotada con sal, ni envuelta en pañales.

5 'Ningún ojo se apiadó de ti para hacer por ti alguna de estas cosas, para compadecerse de ti; sino que fuiste echada al campo abierto, porque fuiste aborrecida el día en que naciste.
