Ezequiel 16:2

2 Hijo de hombre, notifica a Jerusalén sus abominaciones,

Ezequiel 16:2 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:2

Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations.
] That is, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, as the Targum; these are mentioned instead of the whole body of the people, because that Jerusalem was the metropolis of the nation, whose sins were very many and heinous: called "abominations", because abominable to God, and rendered them so to him; particularly their idolatries are meant; which, though committed by them, and so must be known to them, yet were not owned, confessed, and repented of by them, they not being convinced of the evil of them; in order to which the prophet is bid to set them before them, and show them the evil nature of them; and which he might do by writing to them, for he himself was now in Chaldea with the captives there. The Targum is,

``son of man, reprove the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and show them their abominations.''

Ezequiel 16:2 In-Context

1 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

2 Hijo de hombre, notifica a Jerusalén sus abominaciones,

3 Y di: Así dijo el Señor DIOS sobre Jerusalén: Tu habitación y tu raza fue de la tierra de Canaán; tu padre amorreo, y tu madre hetea.

4 En cuanto a tu nacimiento, el día que naciste no fue cortado tu ombligo, ni fuiste lavada con aguas para ablandarte, ni salada con sal, ni fuiste envuelta con fajas.

5 No hubo ojo que se compadeciese de ti, para hacerte algo de esto, teniendo de ti misericordia; sino que fuiste echada sobre la faz del campo, con menosprecio de tu vida, en el día que naciste.
