Midrash su Ezechiele 5:7
לָכֵ֞ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֣ר ׀ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה יַ֤עַן הֲמָנְכֶם֙ מִן־הַגּוֹיִם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר סְבִיבֽוֹתֵיכֶ֔ם בְּחֻקּוֹתַי֙ לֹ֣א הֲלַכְתֶּ֔ם וְאֶת־מִשְׁפָּטַ֖י לֹ֣א עֲשִׂיתֶ֑ם וּֽכְמִשְׁפְּטֵ֧י הַגּוֹיִ֛ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר סְבִיבוֹתֵיכֶ֖ם לֹ֥א עֲשִׂיתֶֽם׃ (ס)
Perciò così dice il Signore Dio: Poiché avete superato le nazioni che sono intorno a voi, in quanto non avete camminato nei miei statuti, né avete osservato le mie ordinanze, né avete fatto dopo le ordinanze delle nazioni che sono intorno a voi;
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
(II Kings, 3, 27) Then took he his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel. According to Rab, he offered him to Heaven, and according to Samuel, to an idol. It is readily understood, according to the one who says to Heaven, The passage (Ib.) And there was great indignation against Israel. But if to an idol, why was there great indignation against Israel? This is in accordance with R. Joshua b. Levi; for R. Joshua b. Levi raised the following contradiction: "It is written (Ez. 5, 7) According to the ordinances of the nation have ye not acted; and again it is written (Ib. 11. 12) But according to the ordinances of the nations ye have acted. And he himself answered: You did not do according to the good usages among them, but according to these corrupt usages."
