Por tanto, así dice el Señor Dios : "Porque vuestra rebelión es mayor que la de las naciones que os rodean, y no habéis andado en mis estatutos ni observado mis ordenanzas, ni tampoco observado las ordenanzas de las naciones que os rodean",
Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: ¿Por haberos multiplicado más que á las gentes que están alrededor de vosotros, no habéis andado en mis mandamientos, ni habéis guardado mis leyes? Ni aun según las leyes de las gentes que están alrededor de vosotros habéis
Por tanto, así dice Jehová el Señor: Porque os multiplicasteis más que las naciones que están alrededor de vosotros, y no habéis andado en mis mandamientos, ni habéis guardado mis leyes, ni siquiera habéis hecho según las leyes de las naciones que están alrededor de vosotros.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Therefore thus saith the Lord God,.... Having observed their sins, and which are still enlarged upon, the Lord proceeds to denounce his judgments against them:
because ye multiplied more than the nations that [are] round about you; not in numbers, nor in wealth and riches, or in blessings and privileges, and therefore grew wanton and forgetful; though this was true: but in sins and wickedness, which abounded among them, and in which they exceeded the nations round about them; and so the Targum paraphrases it,
"because that ye have sinned more than the people that are round about you:''
[and] have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments; which as repeated to show the certainty of fact, and how much the Lord resented it:
neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that [are] round about you. The Syriac version leaves out the negative particle and renders the words thus, "but ye have done the judgments of the nations which are round about you"; and it may be observed, that it is omitted in parallel text, Ezekiel 11:12; and this is what the Jews are often reproved for, that they followed the laws and customs of the Gentiles, and worshipped their gods; and the opposition to the preceding clause seems to require this sense; but the retaining the negative particle is confirmed by the Targum, Masora, and the Septuagint and Arabic versions; and also by the Talmud t, which reconciles the passage with the parallel text before mentioned, thus,
"according to those things which are right among them (the Gentiles) ye have not done; [but] according to what are corrupt among them ye have done;''
and the meaning is, either that they did not walk according to the law and light of nature, which the Gentiles had, and attended to, Romans 2:14; or that they did not follow them in their conduct and behaviour; they were not so zealous for the true God as the Heathens were for their idols; they were not so tenacious of the laws and worship the true God of Israel as the Gentiles were of their superstitious rites and ceremonies; the Gentiles did not change their gods, and manner of worship, but retained what, they received from their ancestors time immemorial; but the Jews changed their glory for that which did not profit, Jeremiah 2:11.
t T. Bab. Sanhedrin, fol. 39, 9.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Because ye multiplied - Some prefer: Because ye have raged tumultuously.â
Neither have done according to the judgments - (or, ordinances) of the nations The reproach is that the Israelites have not even been as faithful to their one true God as the nations have been to their false gods (compare 2 Kings 17:33).
