Ezequiel 6

La Biblia en Español Sencillo (BES) · Español

1 El Señor me habló y dijo: 2 Hijo de hombre, vuelve tu rostro hacia los montes de Israel y profetiza contra ellos. Di: 3 Montes de Israel, escuchen las palabras del Señor. Esto es lo que el Señor ha dicho a los montes, las colinas, los arroyos y los valles: Yo mismo enviaré contra ustedes una espada para destruir sus santuarios en los lugares altos. 4 Sus altares quedarán en ruinas y sus imágenes del sol serán destrozadas. Pondré sus muertos delante de sus ídolos. 5 Pondré los cadáveres de los hijos de Israel delante de sus ídolos y esparciré los huesos de ustedes alrededor de sus altares. 6 En todos los lugares donde viven, las ciudades quedarán en ruinas y los santuarios en los lugares altos serán destruidos. Sus altares quedarán derribados y arruinados, sus ídolos serán destrozados y eliminados, sus imágenes del sol serán destruidas y sus obras desaparecerán. 7 Y los muertos caerán entre ustedes, y sabrán que yo soy el Señor. 8 Pero dejaré a un pequeño grupo a salvo de la espada entre las naciones, cuando ustedes sean dispersados por los países. 9 Los que sobrevivan se acordarán de mí entre las naciones adonde hayan sido llevados prisioneros. Recordarán cómo castigué sus corazones infieles y sus ojos que se volvieron hacia sus falsos dioses. Se odiarán a sí mismos por el mal que hicieron con todas sus prácticas repugnantes. 10 Sabrán que yo soy el Señor y que no amenacé en vano con enviarles esta desgracia. 11 Esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor: Golpea con la mano, da un pisotón y di: ¡Qué dolor, por todas las prácticas malvadas y repugnantes de los hijos de Israel! Morirán por la espada, el hambre y la enfermedad. 12 El que esté lejos morirá de enfermedad; el que esté cerca caerá a espada; el que esté encerrado morirá de hambre. Así descargaré todo mi furor contra ellos. 13 Sabrán que yo soy el Señor cuando sus muertos queden tendidos entre sus ídolos, alrededor de sus altares. Estarán en cada colina alta y cada cumbre de los montes, debajo de cada árbol frondoso y cada roble espeso: los lugares donde quemaban incienso a todos sus ídolos. 14 Extenderé mi mano contra ellos y dejaré la tierra desierta y sin habitantes, desde el desierto hasta Ribla, en todos los lugares donde viven. Así sabrán que yo soy el Señor.

Ezequiel 6:1

Introduction

In this chapter, which forms a distinct section, the prophet denounces the judgments of God against the Jews for their idolatry, Eze 6:1-7; but tells them that a remnant shall be saved, and brought to a sense of their sins by their severe afflictions, Eze 6:8-14.

Ezequiel 6:2-3

Verse 2

Set thy face toward the mountains of Israel - This is a new prophecy, and was most probably given after the four hundred and thirty days of his lying on his left and right side were accomplished. By Israel here, Judea is simply meant; not the ten tribes, who had long before been carried into captivity. Ezekiel uses this term in reference to the Jews only.

The mountains may be addressed here particularly, because it was on them the chief scenes of idolatry were exhibited.

Ezequiel 6:4

Verse 4

Your images shall be broken - Literally, your sun images; representations of the sun, which they worshipped. See the margin.

Ezequiel 6:5-8

Verse 5

Will scatter your bones round about your altars - This was literally fulfilled by the Chaldeans. According to Baruch, 2:24, 25, they opened the sepulchres of the principal people, and threw the bones about on every side.

Ezequiel 6:9-10

Verse 9

They that escape of you shall remember me - Those that escape the sword, the pestilence, and the famine, and shall be led into captivity, shall plainly see that it is God who has done this, and shall humble themselves on account of their abominations, leave their idolatry, and worship me alone. And this they have done from the Babylonish captivity to the present day.

Ezequiel 6:11-13

Verse 11

Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot - Show the utmost marks of thy astonishment and indignation, and dread of the evils that are coming upon them. Some have contended for the propriety of clapping and stamping in public worship from these words! It is scarcely a breach of charity to think that such persons are themselves incapable either of attending on or conducting the worship of God. To be consistent, they should copy the prophet in his other typical actions as well as these; and then we shall hear of their lying on their left side for three hundred and ninety days, and on their right side for forty days; shaving their heads, burning their hair, baking their bread with dung, etc. Now all these things, because they were typical and commanded, were proper in the prophet: in such persons as the above they would be evidences of insanity. Such extravagant acts are no part of God's worship.

Ezequiel 6:14

Verse 14

And make the land - more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath - Diblath or Diblathayim is situated in the land of Moab. It is mentioned Num 33:46, Almon-Diblathaim; and in Jer 48:22, Beth-Diblathaim. It was a part of that horrible wilderness mentioned by Moses, Deu 8:15, "wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought." The precise reason why it is mentioned here is not very evident. Some think it is the same as Riblah, where Nebuchadnezzar slew the princes of Israel, and put out Zedekiah's eyes; the principal difference lying between the ד daleth and the ר resh, which in MSS. is often scarcely discernible; and hence vast multitudes of various readings. Five, probably six, of Kennicott's MSS. have רבלתה riblathah, as likewise two of my oldest MSS.; though in the margin of one a later hand directs the word to be read בדלת bedaleth, with daleth. But all the Versions read the word with a D. This may appear a matter of little importance, but we should take pains to recover even one lost letter of the word of God.
