Los dejé corromperse a través de sus propias ofrendas perversas, literalmente estaban sacrificando a sus hijos primogénitos en el fuego. Permití este horror para dejarlos vacíos y quebrantados, para que finalmente entendieran quién soy yo realmente.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the context of Ezekiel's prophecy during the Babylonian exile around the 6th century BC, God is addressing the Israelites' long history of rebellion, including their adoption of pagan rituals like child sacrifice, which were strictly forbidden in the Mosaic Law. This verse describes how God allowed them to persist in these abominable practices as a form of judgment, leading to their desolation and defeat, so they would ultimately recognize His sovereignty. Such actions reflected the cultural influence of surrounding nations like the Canaanites, who practiced similar idolatries, underscoring Israel's failure to remain faithful to their covenant with God.
