Ezek 16:50 · Douay-Rheims
“And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.”
On this verse:
“haughty--puffed up with prosperity. abomination before me--"sinners before the Lord" (Gen 13:13); said of those whose sin is so heinous as to cry out to God for immediate judgments; presumptuous sins, daring God to the face (Gen 18:20; Gen 19:5). I took them away-- (Gen 19:24). as I saw good--rather, "according to what I saw"; referring to Gen 18:21, where God says, "I will go down, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it which is come unto Me."”
