Ezequiel 7:19

19 »Arrojarán su dinero a la calle,
lo tirarán como si fuera basura.
Ni su oro ni su plata los salvará
cuando llegue ese día del enojo del Señor
.
No los saciarán ni los alimentarán,
porque su avaricia solo los hace tropezar.

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 Sus manos colgarán sin fuerza,
las rodillas les quedarán débiles como el agua.

18 Se vestirán de tela áspera;
el horror y la vergüenza los cubrirán.
Se afeitarán la cabeza
en señal de dolor y remordimiento.

19 »Arrojarán su dinero a la calle,
lo tirarán como si fuera basura.
Ni su oro ni su plata los salvará
cuando llegue ese día del enojo del Señor
.
No los saciarán ni los alimentarán,
porque su avaricia solo los hace tropezar.

20 Estaban orgullosos de sus hermosas joyas
y con ellas hicieron ídolos detestables e imágenes repugnantes.
Por lo tanto, haré que todas sus riquezas
les resulten asquerosas.

21 Se las daré a los extranjeros como botín,
a las naciones más perversas,
y ellas las profanarán.
