Psalm 78:58

58 Hicieron enojar a Dios al construir santuarios a otros dioses;
con sus ídolos lo pusieron celoso.

Psalm 78:58 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:58

For they provoked him to anger with their high places
Which they built to Baal, and other Heathen dieties:

and moved him to jealousy with their graven images;
which they worshipped, see ( Judges 10:6 ) , which idolatry was spiritual adultery, and so made the Lord jealous of them, who stood in the relation of a husband to them, as a man becomes jealous by the unchaste and lascivious conduct of his wife; and such a course of life the Israelites lived, throughout the reigns of the judges, at certain seasons, until the times of Eli and Samuel, when the ark was carried captive, of which mention is made in the following verses.

Psalm 78:58 In-Context

56 Pero ellos siguieron tentando al Dios Altísimo y rebelándose contra él;
no obedecieron sus leyes.

57 Le dieron la espalda y fueron tan infieles como sus padres;
eran tan poco fiables como un arco torcido.

58 Hicieron enojar a Dios al construir santuarios a otros dioses;
con sus ídolos lo pusieron celoso.

59 Cuando Dios los oyó, se enojó mucho,
y rechazó a Israel por completo.

60 Entonces abandonó su morada en Silo,
el tabernáculo donde había vivido en medio de su pueblo.
