Ezekiel 7:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:20

As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty
Or, "for pride" F9. The gold, silver, jewels, riches, and treasure, which the Lord gave to this people, they made a bad use of; and instead of contributing to the support of his worship and interest, and of giving liberally to the poor, they converted it to their own pride and luxury: or rather the temple, as Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it, is meant; which was a beautiful structure, and adorned with gifts, and set for glory, majesty, and excellency by the Lord; yea, where his excellent Majesty dwelt himself: but they made the images of their abominations [and] of their
detestable things therein;
or, "of it" F11; that is, of their gold and silver, which is another bad use they put their riches to: or rather "in it" F12; that is, the temple; where, having made their idols, they placed them; see ( Jeremiah 7:30 ) ; therefore have I set it far from them;
that being destroyed, and they being carried away captive into a strange land, far from that.

Ezekiel 7:20 In-Context

18 Ils se ceignent de sacs, Et la terreur les enveloppe; Tous les visages sont confus, Toutes les têtes sont rasées.
19 Ils jetteront leur argent dans les rues, Et leur or sera pour eux un objet d'horreur; Leur argent et leur or ne pourront les sauver, Au jour de la fureur de l'Eternel; Ils ne pourront ni rassasier leur âme, Ni remplir leurs entrailles; Car c'est ce qui les a fait tomber dans leur iniquité.
20 Ils étaient fiers de leur magnifique parure, Et ils en ont fabriqué les images de leurs abominations, de leurs idoles. C'est pourquoi je la rendrai pour eux un objet d'horreur;
21 Je la donnerai en pillage aux mains des étrangers, Et comme butin aux impies de la terre, Afin qu'ils la profanent.
22 Je détournerai d'eux ma face, Et l'on souillera mon sanctuaire; Des furieux y pénétreront, et le profaneront.
