Ezequiel 16:50 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:50

And they were haughty
Sodom and her daughters, the inhabitants of that place, and the cities adjacent; they lifted up themselves above God and man; they were above regarding the poor and needy; and were elated and swelled with their plenty and prosperity, and behaved very insolently, both to fellow citizens and strangers; see ( Genesis 19:4 Genesis 19:5 Genesis 19:9 ) ; and committed abomination before me;
perhaps referring to that sin, which has its name from them; a sin abominable to God, and scandalous to human nature; and which they committed openly and publicly, neither fearing God, nor regarding men; and are said to be sinners before the Lord, ( Genesis 13:13 ) ; therefore I took them away as I saw [good];
both as to time and manner, as he in his sovereignty thought most fit and proper, by raining fire and brimstone on them, and setting them forth as an example of the vengeance of eternal fire: or, "when I saw" ^F3; their sin and wickedness, as soon as he saw it; see ( Genesis 18:20 Genesis 18:21 ) . The Vulgate Latin and Arabic versions render it, "as thou sawest", or "hast seen"; appealing to the Jews themselves, who were very well acquainted with the fact; for the destruction of Sodom was notorious and flagrant.

Ezequiel 16:50 In-Context

48 Vivo yo, dijo el Señor DIOS, Sodoma tu hermana, con sus hijas, nunca hizo como hiciste tú y tus hijas

49 He aquí que ésta fue la iniquidad de Sodoma tu hermana: soberbia, saciedad de pan, y abundancia de ociosidad tuvo ella y sus hijas; y no corroboró la mano del afligido y del menesteroso

50 Y se llenaron de soberbia, e hicieron abominación delante de mí, y cuando lo vi las quité

51 Y Samaria no cometió ni la mitad de tus pecados; porque tú multiplicaste tus abominaciones más que ellas, y has justificado a tus hermanas con todas tus abominaciones que hiciste

52 Tú también, que juzgaste a tus hermanas, lleva tu vergüenza en tus pecados que hiciste, más abominables que los de ellas; más justas son que tú; avergüénzate, pues, tú también, y lleva tu confusión, pues que has justificado a tus hermanas
