Ezekiel 7:20Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

They have transformed the beauty of their garments into arrogance, creating from them representations of their detestable acts and statues. They have taken the gifts of the world and turned them into a source of pride, crafting idols from what should have been used for the salvation of their souls through acts of charity and virtue. As a result, they have fashioned gold and silver idols and have converted My blessings into images of these statues. It is essential to recognize that when the Seventy translate the chosen of the world as having become vessels of pride, this particularly refers to gold and silver, which hold no comparison as possessions of greater worth. Regarding their stumbling blocks, this interpretation is noted from Theodotion.

I have placed the selected vessels in my pride, and from them they have created the representations of their abominations and evil. They transformed silver, gold, and precious stones into a means for their arrogance and wickedness, crafting elaborate adornments and largely employing them to fashion idols.
