In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
Tu pueblo acepta sobornos para cometer asesinatos, cobra intereses excesivos, y estafa a sus vecinos para obtener ganancias, y en todo esto, te has olvidado completamente de mí, dice el Señor Dios.
El pueblo de Dios había caído en corrupción total, cometiendo crímenes por dinero y olvidándose completamente de Dios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the 6th century BC, during the Babylonian exile, the prophet Ezekiel was delivering God's messages of judgment to the Jewish people, highlighting the moral and social decay in Jerusalem that had led to their downfall. This verse specifically addresses the corruption among leaders and citizens, including accepting bribes for violence, charging excessive interest on loans, and extorting neighbors, all of which demonstrated a blatant disregard for God's laws. Ezekiel's prophecy served as a warning that such sins would bring divine punishment, emphasizing how the nation's forgetfulness of God fueled their injustice.
