エゼキエル書 22:6 JCB

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-31

CLOSE OF PART ONE Lack of space makes it necessary to crowd the remainder of Part 1 into a single lesson, but nothing vital to its general understanding will be lost, as the chapters are, to a certain extent, repetitions of the foregoing. LAMENTATIONS FOR THE PRINCES (Ezekiel 19:0 ) The theme of this chapter is found in the first and last verses. The “princes” are the kings of Judah Jehoahaz, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah, whose histories were made familiar in the closing chapters of 2 Kings ,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-16

The opening of this chapter, in the words of the Lord, is put into the form of a question, not only of judging, but it seems as if the Lord condescended to ask His servant, whether he had ought to say in justification of the city of bloods, for so the original is; meaning much evil abounded in Jerusalem. And then, as if the Lord knew the Prophet could not say anything by way of the least apology, the Lord adds, Then say thou; that is, then pronounce both their guilt and their punishment; and... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 22:1-16

1-16 The prophet is to judge the bloody city; the city of bloods. Jerusalem is so called, because of her crimes. The sins which Jerusalem stands charged with, are exceeding sinful. Murder, idolatry, disobedience to parents, oppression and extortion, profanation of the sabbath and holy things, seventh commandment sins, lewdness and adultery. Unmindfulness of God was at the bottom of all this wickedness. Sinners provoke God because they forget him. Jerusalem has filled the measure of her sins.... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 22:1-16

The Weight of Jerusalem's Guilt v. 1. Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, v. 2. Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge, the bloody city? so called on account of the murders committed in her and the sacrifices of children to Molech. Yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations, so that she was bound to acknowledge them, even if she was lacking in repentance. v. 3. Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord God, who excels in the might of His sovereignty, The city... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Ezekiel 22:1-31

11. The Conviction of Ripeness for Judgment: (a) Of Jerusalem’s in particular (Ezekiel 22:0); (b) and of Judah’s and Israel’s as a whole (Ezekiel 23:0).(a) Jerusalem ripe for Judgment (Ezekiel 22:0.)1, 2And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, And thou, son of man, wilt thou judge? Wilt thou judge the city of blood [blood-shedding]? Then make 3her to know all her abominations. And say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, A city that sheds blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and has... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Ezekiel 22:1-31

The next movement described the utter evil of the city. Its fundamental sins of bloodshed and idolatry were named and denounced, and the resultant evils were described. These consisted of the oppression of the people by the princes, of despising holy things and of profanation of the Sabbath, of terrible and widespread impurity, and of active and iniquitous greed. On account of these things the judgment of Jehovah would be terrible, and the people were challenged whether they could endure... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 22:6-8

“Behold the princes of Israel, every one according to his power, have been in you to shed blood. In you have they treated dismissively the authority of father and mother. In the midst of you they have dealt with the stranger by oppression. In you they have wronged the fatherless and the widow. You have despised my holy things and have profaned my sabbaths.” Notice the ‘in you’ which is continually repeated in the following verses. God is speaking to Jerusalem and depicting why it is a condemned... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 22:1-16

Ezekiel 22. The Sins of the Classes and the Masses.— The doom which has just been described in such fiercely vivid terms contains only one allusion to the sins which justified it ( Ezekiel 21:23 f.). This chapter details those sins, and deals with the present as Ezekiel 22:20 had dealt with the past, incidentally letting us see what Ezekiel means by sin. Ezekiel 22:1-Nehemiah : . The Sin.— The evils denounced are largely social wrongs ( cf. ch. 18), but it is significant that the low... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 22:6

He was in Ezekiel 23:2 commanded to show the Jews all their abominations. Now he is directed to begin with the greatest first, either those of the royal family, or else such as adhered close to the interest of them, and were advanced to places of great trust; or, who were heads of families. Every one; not one to be found of a juster or more merciful temper. To their power; according to their ability and opportunity. To shed blood; for murdering all they hated, or that stood in their way. read more
