1Vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

2Tú, hijo de hombre, ¿no juzgarás tú, no juzgarás tú a la ciudad derramadora de sangre, y le mostrarás todas sus abominaciones?

3Dirás, pues: Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: ¡Ciudad derramadora de sangre en medio de sí, para que venga su hora, y que hizo ídolos contra sí misma para contaminarse!

4En tu sangre que derramaste has pecado, y te has contaminado en tus ídolos que hiciste; y has hecho acercar tu día, y has llegado al término de tus años; por tanto, te he dado en oprobio a las naciones, y en escarnio a todas las tierras.

5Las que están cerca de ti y las que están lejos se reirán de ti, amancillada de nombre, y de grande turbación.

6He aquí que los príncipes de Israel, cada uno según su poder, se esfuerzan en derramar sangre.

7Al padre y a la madre despreciaron en ti; al extranjero trataron con violencia en medio de ti; al huérfano y a la viuda despojaron en ti.

8Mis santuarios menospreciaste, y mis días de reposo has profanado.

9Calumniadores hubo en ti para derramar sangre; y sobre los montes comieron en ti; hicieron en medio de ti perversidades.

10La desnudez del padre descubrieron en ti, y en ti hicieron violencia a la que estaba inmunda por su menstruo.

11Cada uno hizo abominación con la mujer de su prójimo, cada uno contaminó pervertidamente a su nuera, y cada uno violó en ti a su hermana, hija de su padre.

12Precio recibieron en ti para derramar sangre; interés y usura tomaste, y a tus prójimos defraudaste con violencia; te olvidaste de mí, dice Jehová el Señor.

13Y he aquí que batí mis manos a causa de tu avaricia que cometiste, y a causa de la sangre que derramaste en medio de ti.

14¿Estará firme tu corazón? ¿Serán fuertes tus manos en los días en que yo proceda contra ti? Yo Jehová he hablado, y lo haré.

15Te dispersaré por las naciones, y te esparciré por las tierras; y haré fenecer de ti tu inmundicia.

16Y por ti misma serás degradada a la vista de las naciones; y sabrás que yo soy Jehová.

17Vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

18Hijo de hombre, la casa de Israel se me ha convertido en escoria; todos ellos son bronce y estaño y hierro y plomo en medio del horno; y en escorias de plata se convirtieron.

19Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová el Señor: Por cuanto todos vosotros os habéis convertido en escorias, por tanto, he aquí que yo os reuniré en medio de Jerusalén.

20Como quien junta plata y bronce y hierro y plomo y estaño en medio del horno, para encender fuego en él para fundirlos, así os juntaré en mi furor y en mi ira, y os pondré allí, y os fundiré.

21Yo os juntaré y soplaré sobre vosotros en el fuego de mi furor, y en medio de él seréis fundidos.

22Como se funde la plata en medio del horno, así seréis fundidos en medio de él; y sabréis que yo Jehová habré derramado mi enojo sobre vosotros.

23Vino a mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

24Hijo de hombre, di a ella: Tú no eres tierra limpia, ni rociada con lluvia en el día del furor.

25Hay conjuración de sus profetas en medio de ella, como león rugiente que arrebata presa; devoraron almas, tomaron haciendas y honra, multiplicaron sus viudas en medio de ella.

26Sus sacerdotes violaron mi ley, y contaminaron mis santuarios; entre lo santo y lo profano no hicieron diferencia, ni distinguieron entre inmundo y limpio; y de mis días de reposo apartaron sus ojos, y yo he sido profanado en medio de ellos.

27Sus príncipes en medio de ella son como lobos que arrebatan presa, derramando sangre, para destruir las almas, para obtener ganancias injustas.

28Y sus profetas recubrían con lodo suelto, profetizándoles vanidad y adivinándoles mentira, diciendo: Así ha dicho Jehová el Señor; y Jehová no había hablado.

29El pueblo de la tierra usaba de opresión y cometía robo, al afligido y menesteroso hacía violencia, y al extranjero oprimía sin derecho.

30Y busqué entre ellos hombre que hiciese vallado y que se pusiese en la brecha delante de mí, a favor de la tierra, para que yo no la destruyese; y no lo hallé.

31Por tanto, derramé sobre ellos mi ira; con el ardor de mi ira los consumí; hice volver el camino de ellos sobre su propia cabeza, dice Jehová el Señor.

ADAM CLARKE BIBLE COMMENTARY

Versículo 2

I. Wilt thou judge the bloody city - Pronounce the sentence of death against the murderers.

Wilt thou judge the bloody city - Pronounce the sentence of death against the murderers. Show her all her abominations - And a most revolting and dreadful catalogue of these is in consequence exhibited.

Versículo 3

II. Her time may come - Till now, it was my long-suffering; she has fulfilled her days - completed th…

Her time may come - Till now, it was my long-suffering; she has fulfilled her days - completed the time of her probation; has not mended, but is daily worse; therefore her judgment can linger no longer.

Versículo 4

III. Thou art become guilty in thy blood - Thou art guilty of blood.

Thou art become guilty in thy blood - Thou art guilty of blood.

Versículo 5

IV. Those that be near - Both distant as well as neighboring provinces consider thee the most abandon…

Those that be near - Both distant as well as neighboring provinces consider thee the most abandoned of characters; and through thee many have been involved in distress and ruin.

Versículo 6

V. Behold, the princes - Ye are a vile and murderous people, and your princes have been of the same …

Behold, the princes - Ye are a vile and murderous people, and your princes have been of the same character. Like people, like prince.

Versículo 7

VI. In thee have they set light - The children do not reverence their parents. Parental affection and…

In thee have they set light - The children do not reverence their parents. Parental affection and filial respect do not exist among you. The stranger is not only not succoured, but he is oppressed. The widows and fatherless are vexed by wrongs and exactions.

Versículo 8

VII. Thou hast despised - All my ordinances are not only neglected, but treated with contempt; and my …

Thou hast despised - All my ordinances are not only neglected, but treated with contempt; and my Sabbaths profaned. There is not only no power of godliness among you, but there is no form.

Versículo 9

VIII. In thee are men that carry tales - Witnesses that will swear any thing, even where life is concer…

In thee are men that carry tales - Witnesses that will swear any thing, even where life is concerned. They eat upon the mountains - Sacrifice to idols, and celebrate their festivals.

Versículo 10

IX. In thee have they discovered - They are guilty of the most abominable incest and unnatural lust.

In thee have they discovered - They are guilty of the most abominable incest and unnatural lust. On thee have they humbled - In their unholy and unnatural connexions, they have not abstained from those set apart because of their infirmities. The catalogue of crimes that follow is too plain to require comment.

Versículo 16

X. Thou shalt know that I am the Lord - I shall so deal with and punish thee, that thou shalt be obl…

Thou shalt know that I am the Lord - I shall so deal with and punish thee, that thou shalt be obliged to own the vindictive hand of a sin-avenging God.

Versículo 18

XI. The house of Israel is to me become dross - They are all like base metal - brass, tin, iron, and …

The house of Israel is to me become dross - They are all like base metal - brass, tin, iron, and lead alloyed together with silver. Ye must be put in the furnace, and subjected to the most intense fire, till your impurities are consumed away. No ordinary means will avail any thing; the most violent must be resorted to.

Versículo 19

XII. I will gather you - Jerusalem is represented here as the fining pot; all the people are to be gat…

I will gather you - Jerusalem is represented here as the fining pot; all the people are to be gathered together in it, and the Chaldean fire is to knelt the whole. And God will increase thy sufferings: as the refiner blows the fire with his bellows, so God will blow upon you with the fire of his wrath, Eze 22:21.

Versículo 24

XIII. Thou art the land that is not cleansed - Thou art like a country where there is no rain, either t…

Thou art the land that is not cleansed - Thou art like a country where there is no rain, either to cleanse the garments, or fertilize the ground.

Versículo 25

XIV. There is a conspiracy - The false prophets have united together to say and support the same thing…

There is a conspiracy - The false prophets have united together to say and support the same things; and have been the cause of the destruction of souls, and the death of many, so that widows, through their means, are multiplied in thee.

Versículo 26

XV. Her priests - Even they whose lips should preserve knowledge, have not instructed the people: the…

Her priests - Even they whose lips should preserve knowledge, have not instructed the people: they have violated my law, not only in their private conduct, but in their careless and corrupt manner of serving in my temple.

Versículo 27

16. Her princes - Are as bad as her priests; they are rapacious, and grievously oppress the people by…

Her princes - Are as bad as her priests; they are rapacious, and grievously oppress the people by unjust impositions in order to increase their revenues.

Versículo 28

17. Her prophets - Even those who profess themselves to be my prophets, have been unfaithful in the d…

Her prophets - Even those who profess themselves to be my prophets, have been unfaithful in the discharge of their office; have soothed the people in their sins, and pretended to have oracles of peace and safety when I had not spoken to them.

Versículo 29

18. The people - All that have power or authority have abused it; vexed and oppressed the poor, the n…

The people - All that have power or authority have abused it; vexed and oppressed the poor, the needy, and the stranger.

Versículo 30

19. I sought for a man - I saw that there was a grievous breach made in the moral state and feeling o…

I sought for a man - I saw that there was a grievous breach made in the moral state and feeling of the people, and I sought for a man that would stand in the gap; that would faithfully exhort, reprove and counsel with all long-suffering and doctrine. But none was to be found!

Versículo 31

20. Therefore - Because of the profligacies already mentioned; because of the false worship so genera…

Therefore - Because of the profligacies already mentioned; because of the false worship so generally practiced; because of the false prophets tolerated; because of the unholy and profane priesthood; because of the oppressive princes; because of the unfaithful and deceiving prophets; because of the oppressions of petty officers; and because of the total corruption of manners in all ranks, places, offices, etc.: - Have I poured out mine indignation - consumed them with the fire of my wrath - Considering the above, has there not been sufficient reason why I should abandon such a people, and pour out upon them such a destructive storm of calamities?
