Ezequiel 7:22

22 Alejaré de ellos mi presencia, y mi templo será profanado; entrarán los invasores y lo profanarán.

Ezequiel 7:22 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 7:22

My face will one turn also from them
Deny them his presence, and withdraw his protection from them; show them no favour, nor afford them any help and succour in their distress, when they cry unto him; so the Targum,

``I will cause my Shechinah to remove from them:''

unless the Chaldeans are meant, as some think, whose robberies and ravages the Lord would wink at, and not restrain, but suffer them to plunder and spoil at pleasure: since it follows, and they shall pollute my secret [place];
the holy of holies, by going into it, which none but the high priest might do, and he but once a year; though the Targum understands this of the Jews, and makes it to be a reason of what is threatened in the preceding clause, rendering it thus,

``because they have profaned the land of the house of my Shechinah:''

for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it;
as did the king of Babylon and his army; and afterwards, in the second temple, Antiochus, Pompey, and Titus Vespasian.

Ezequiel 7:22 In-Context

20 Se enorgullecían de sus joyas hermosas, y las usaron para fabricar sus imágenes detestables y sus ídolos despreciables. Por esta razón convertiré esas joyas en algo repugnante.

21 Haré que vengan los extranjeros y se las roben, y que los malvados de la tierra se las lleven y las profanen.

22 Alejaré de ellos mi presencia, y mi templo será profanado; entrarán los invasores y lo profanarán.

23 »Prepara las cadenas porque el país se ha llenado de sangre, y la ciudad está llena de violencia.

24 Haré que las naciones más violentas vengan y se apoderen de sus casas. Pondré fin a la soberbia de los poderosos, y sus santuarios serán profanados.
