In the context of Ezekiel, the Israelites are facing the repercussions of their covenant unfaithfulness. The concept of bearing consequences is rooted in the justice of God, who holds individuals and nations accountable for their actions (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-15.htm">Deuteronomy 28:15-68</a>).<p><b>of your lewdness</b><br>Lewdness here refers to the moral and spiritual corruption of Israel, often depicted as spiritual adultery. The term is used to describe the idolatrous practices and moral decay that had infiltrated the nation (<a href="/jeremiah/3-6.htm">Jeremiah 3:6-9</a>). This imagery of unfaithfulness is consistent with the prophetic literature, where Israel is often portrayed as an unfaithful spouse (Hosea 1-3).<p><b>and your abominations</b><br>Abominations refer to detestable practices, particularly idolatry and the associated rituals that were abhorrent to God (<a href="/leviticus/18-26.htm">Leviticus 18:26-30</a>). These practices included child sacrifice and other pagan rituals adopted from surrounding nations (<a href="/2_kings/16-3.htm">2 Kings 16:3</a>). The use of this term underscores the severity of Israel's sin and the reason for divine judgment.<p><b>declares the LORD</b><br>This phrase affirms the authority and certainty of the message. The declaration of the LORD signifies that the message is not merely the prophet's opinion but a divine pronouncement.
