Origen, on Ezek 16:2
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Ezek 16:2 · Douay-Rheims
“Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.”
On this verse:
“Why is it that I admire Ezekiel? Because the order was given him to make known to Jerusalem its abominations, and he did not place before his eyes any danger that would result from his preaching, but in order to keep only the precepts of God, he spoke whatever he was told. Let us realize that there was a mystery, that there was the revelation of a mysterious kind on the subject of Jerusalem and all that is said against it. Nevertheless, he prophesied, and accused it of fornication.”
