Ezequiel 20:32 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:32

And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all
What they had contrived in their own breasts, and laid a plan of, and would gladly have brought about, should be frustrated, take no effect, and come to nothing: that ye say, we will be as the Heathen;
live without God; not be in subjection to him, or under his government, or be called by his name, or attend to his word, worship, and ordinances; but join ourselves to them; enter into alliance, and intermarry with them; carry on trade and commerce with them, and embrace the same religion; and then we shall prosper as they do, as well as no more incur the reproach of singularity or preciseness in religion: as the families of the countries:
being incorporated into them, dwelling with them, and joining with them in the same exercises of religious worship: to serve wood and stone;
images made of wood and stone. Strange! that a people that had a revelation from God, and such an experience of his power and goodness, should ever form such a scheme, or once think of entering into such measures, so grossly absurd and scandalous.

32 'Y no sucederá lo que estáis pensando, cuando decís: "Seremos como las naciones, como las tribus de otras tierras, que sirven a la madera y a la piedra."

33 'Vivo yo'declara el Señor DIOS"que con mano fuerte, con brazo extendido y con furor derramado yo seré rey sobre vosotros.

34 'Y os sacaré de entre los pueblos y os reuniré de las tierras donde estáis dispersos con mano fuerte, con brazo extendido y con furor derramado;
