“They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.”
Those sanctifying themselves in gardens, eating pig flesh, abominable things, and mice will be consumed together in divine judgment, indicating that idolatrous and unclean-practice adherents face destruction. The specific mention of syncretistic practices indicates these are the targets of judgment. The promise of consumption indicates total elimination. The verse consolidates the judgment pronounced: those engaging in covenant-violation and idolatry will not survive the eschatological transformation.
