Ezequiel 7:19

19 Arrojarán su plata por las plazas, y su oro lejos; su plata ni su oro, no los podrá librar en el día del furor del SEÑOR; no saciarán su alma, ni llenarán sus vientres, porque será caída por su iniquidad

Ezequiel 7:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:19

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold
shall be removed
As being of no use unto them to preserve them from famine and pestilence, and as being an hinderance to them in their flight from the enemy. Kimchi observes that this may be interpreted of their idols of gold and silver, which shall now be had in contempt by them, and cast away, when they shall find they cannot save them from ruin; see ( Isaiah 2:20 ) ; their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the
day of the wrath of the Lord;
these can neither deliver from temporal judgments nor from wrath to come; see ( Proverbs 10:2 ) ( 11:4 ) ; nor idols made of them: they shall not satisfy their souls, nor fill their bowels;
gold and silver cannot be eaten; these will not satisfy the craving appetite, nor fill the hungry belly: the words show that the famine would be so great, that bread could not be got for any money; and therefore gold and silver would be of no avail; since they could not be fed upon, or give any satisfaction to a famishing soul; nor could idols of gold and silver neither: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity;
what was the occasion of their iniquity, covetousness, and idolatry, at which they stumbled, and fell into sin, and so into punishment for it.

Ezequiel 7:19 In-Context

17 Todas las manos serán descoyuntadas, y declinarán como aguas todas las rodillas

18 Se ceñirán también de cilicio, y les cubrirá temblor; y en todo rostro habrá vergüenza, y en todas sus cabezas peladura

19 Arrojarán su plata por las plazas, y su oro lejos; su plata ni su oro, no los podrá librar en el día del furor del SEÑOR; no saciarán su alma, ni llenarán sus vientres, porque será caída por su iniquidad

20 Por cuanto la gloria de su ornamento pusieron en soberbia, e hicieron en ella imágenes de sus abominaciones, de sus estatuas, por eso se la torné a ellos en alejamiento

21 y en mano de extraños la entregué para ser saqueada, y en despojo a los impíos de la tierra, y la contaminarán
