Ezequiel 20:31

Listen to Ezequiel 20:31
31 Quando vocês apresentam as suas ofertas, o sacrifício de seus filhos no fogo, continuam a contaminar-se com todos os seus ídolos até o dia de hoje. E eu deverei deixar que me consultem, ó nação de Israel? Juro pela minha vida, palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR, que não permitirei que vocês me consultem.

Ezequiel 20:31 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:31

For when ye offer your gifts
And sacrifices to idols. The Septuagint and Arabic versions render it, the firstfruits of your gifts;
it may design their firstborn; see ( Ezekiel 20:26 ) as the following clause seems to explain it: when ye make your sons to pass through the fire;
or between two fires to Moloch, as their fathers had done before them; ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day;
by worshipping idols, or dunghill gods, as the word signifies, as often observed; they defiled themselves with those filthy things, which they continued to do to that very day, and so became more and more polluted; and were as their fathers had been, and therefore must expect to be used in like manner: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel?
can you think that I will suffer you to come and inquire of me or to make your requests to me? or can you hope to have an answer from me; at least a favourable one, such as you could wish for? as I live, saith the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you;
so confirming again with an oath what he had before declared, ( Ezekiel 20:3 ) , wherefore they might assure themselves that they would not be acceptable to him, neither their persons nor petitions, or be regarded by him.

29 Perguntei-lhes então: Que altar é este no monte para onde vocês vão?” Esse altar é chamado Bama até o dia de hoje.
30 “Portanto, diga à nação de Israel: Assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Vocês não estão se contaminando como os seus antepassados se contaminaram? E não estão cobiçando as suas imagens repugnantes?
31 Quando vocês apresentam as suas ofertas, o sacrifício de seus filhos no fogo, continuam a contaminar-se com todos os seus ídolos até o dia de hoje. E eu deverei deixar que me consultem, ó nação de Israel? Juro pela minha vida, palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR, que não permitirei que vocês me consultem.
32 “Vocês dizem: ‘Queremos ser como as nações, como os povos do mundo, que servem à madeira e à pedra’. Mas o que vocês têm em mente jamais acontecerá.
33 Juro pela minha vida, palavra do Soberano, o SENHOR, que dominarei sobre vocês com mão poderosa e braço forte e com ira que já transbordou.
