Ezequiel 20:24

24 Porque no pusieron por obra mis derechos, y desecharon mis ordenanzas, y profanaron mis sábados, y tras los ídolos de sus padres se les fueron sus ojos.

Ezequiel 20:24 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:24

Because they had not executed my judgments
Had not done that which was right and just, as the Lord commanded them: but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths;
as their fathers had done: and their eyes were after their fathers' idols;
which they had learned to serve in Egypt, or brought with them from thence; these the eyes and the hearts of their children were after, as theirs find been; and they were more desirous, encouraged, and emboldened to serve them, because they were their fathers'; but this would not excuse their sin; yea, it was rather an aggravation of it, that they should follow them in such practices, for which they had been often reproved and punished.

Ezequiel 20:24 In-Context

22 Mas retraje mi mano, y en atención á mi nombre hice porque no se infamase á vista de las gentes, delante de cuyos ojos los saqué.
23 Y también les alcé yo mi mano en el desierto, que los esparciría entre las gentes, y que los aventaría por las tierras;
24 Porque no pusieron por obra mis derechos, y desecharon mis ordenanzas, y profanaron mis sábados, y tras los ídolos de sus padres se les fueron sus ojos.
25 Por eso yo también les dí ordenanzas no buenas, y derechos por los cuales no viviesen;
26 Y contaminélos en sus ofrendas cuando hacían pasar por el fuego todo primogénito, para que los desolase, á fin de que supiesen que yo soy Jehová.
