Ezequiel 20:32

32 Y no ha de ser lo que habéis pensado. Porque vosotros decís: Seamos como los gentiles, como las familias de las naciones, sirviendo a la madera y a la piedra

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.

Ezequiel 20:32 In-Context

30 Di, pues, a la Casa de Israel: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: ¿Por ventura no os contamináis vosotros a la manera de vuestros padres, y fornicáis tras sus abominaciones

31 Porque ofreciendo vuestras ofrendas, haciendo pasar vuestros hijos por el fuego, os habéis contaminado con todos vuestros ídolos hasta hoy, ¿y he de responderos yo, Casa de Israel? Vivo yo, dijo el Señor DIOS, que no os responderé

32 Y no ha de ser lo que habéis pensado. Porque vosotros decís: Seamos como los gentiles, como las familias de las naciones, sirviendo a la madera y a la piedra

33 Vivo yo, dijo el Señor DIOS, que con mano fuerte, y brazo extendido, y enojo derramado, tengo que reinar sobre vosotros

34 y os sacaré de entre los pueblos, y os juntaré de las tierras en que estáis esparcidos, con mano fuerte, y brazo extendido, y enojo derramado
