Ezequiel 14:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 14:6

Therefore say unto the house of Israel
Deliver out the following exhortation to repentance unto them; for God's end, in all his threatenings and judgments, is to bring men to repentance: thus saith the Lord God, repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols;
or, "turn, and cause to be turned from your idols" ^F23; turn yourselves from the worship of idols, as the Targum, and do all that in you lies to turn others from the same; particularly your wives and young men, as Kimchi: and the rather they were obliged to do this, since in all probability they had been the means of drawing them into idolatry: and turn away your faces from all your abominations;
their idols, detestable to God, and ought to have been so to them; these he would have them turn their faces from, not so much as look at them, much less worship them, that they might not be ensnared by them; this is said, in opposition to their setting of them before their face, ( Ezekiel 14:3 Ezekiel 14:4 ) .

Ezequiel 14:6 In-Context

4 Diles: “Esto dice el Señor
Soberano: ‘Los israelitas han levantado ídolos en su corazón y han caído en pecado y después corren a consultar a un profeta. Así que yo, el Señor
, les daré la clase de respuesta que merece su gran idolatría,

5 a fin de conquistar la mente y el corazón de mi pueblo que me ha abandonado para rendir culto a sus ídolos detestables’”.

6 »Por lo tanto, diles a los israelitas: “Esto dice el Señor
Soberano: ‘Arrepiéntanse y abandonen sus ídolos, y dejen de cometer ya sus pecados detestables.

7 Yo, el Señor
, les responderé a todos —sean israelitas o extranjeros— los que me rechazan y levantan ídolos en su corazón y así caen en pecado, y después van a consultar a un profeta en busca de mi consejo.

8 Me pondré en contra de esas personas y haré de ellas un ejemplo espantoso cuando las elimine de mi pueblo. Entonces ustedes sabrán que yo soy el Señor
.
