Ezekiel 16:18 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

“And you took your bordered clothes and covered them (the idols), and set my oil and my incense before them.”

The catalogue of dastardly behaviour continues. They put the fine clothes that Yahweh had given them on idols. The oil and incense that He had given them in abundance they offered to false gods. But we need to beware before we are too amazed. Many a Christian life has been withered because of God's goodness to them which has made them forget Him. Wealth and prosperity are the enemy of the dedicated spiritual life.

Ezekiel 16:18

18 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
