Ezequiel 14:11

11 para que no yerren más los de la Casa de Israel de en pos de mí; ni más se contaminen en todas sus rebeliones; y me sean por pueblo, y yo les sea por Dios, dijo el Señor DIOS

Ezequiel 14:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 14:11

That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me
Or from his worship, as the Targum; from the law of God, and obedience to it: sin is a going astray from God, a deviation from his commandments; it leads men out of the way of their duty into wrong paths, which issue in ruin, if grace prevent not; and sometimes the means which God makes use of for the restoring of his own people, and bringing them back to himself, are the punishments which he inflicts upon others; and which is his end in so doing, as it was here; that the false prophets, and those that followed them, being made examples of, might be a warning unto others, and caution them against falling into the same sins, that so they might not bear the same punishment; or be a means of reclaiming them from their errors, and for the future beware of going astray again: neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions;
for every transgression, as it is an aberration from the law of God, so it is of a defiling nature: it defiles the mind and conscience, yea, the whole man, from which there is no cleansing but by the blood of Christ; it is loathsome in itself, contrary to the pure and holy nature of God, and abominable to a gracious mind, and therefore to be avoided; and which may be learnt from the punishment of it on others: but that they may be my people and I may be their God, saith the Lord
God;
that is, that they may behave as such, and that it may appear that God is their God, and they are his people.

Ezequiel 14:11 In-Context

9 Y el profeta, cuando fuere engañado y hablare palabra, yo, el SEÑOR, engañé al tal profeta; y extenderé mi mano sobre él, y le raeré de en medio de mi pueblo de Israel

10 Y llevarán su iniquidad, como la iniquidad del que pregunta, así será la iniquidad del profeta

11 para que no yerren más los de la Casa de Israel de en pos de mí; ni más se contaminen en todas sus rebeliones; y me sean por pueblo, y yo les sea por Dios, dijo el Señor DIOS

12 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo

13 Hijo de hombre, cuando la tierra pecare contra mí rebelándose pérfidamente, y extendiere yo mi mano sobre ella, y le quebrantare el arrimo del pan, y enviare en ella hambre, y talare de ella hombres y bestias
