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's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 22:1-2

Jerusalem, the City of Blood. ‘Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me saying, “And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge, the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.” ’ Ezekiel continues in his silent vigil, speaking only when the word of Yahweh comes to him. God asks him whether he is prepared to pass act as prosecutor to a city filled with the spilling of blood. For the double rendering which intensifies the question compare Ezekiel 20:4. ‘The bloody city.’ This... 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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-16

THE SINS OF JERUSALEM AND ISRAEL: THE GENERAL CORRUPTION OF PROPHETS, PRIESTS, PRINCES, AND PEOPLE (Chap. 22)EXEGETICAL NOTES.—We have here another description of the sins of Jerusalem and Israel; and thus the judgments predicted in the last chapter are clearly justified. Three words of God are here closely connected together in their substance and design, viz.: (1) The blood-guiltiness and idolatry of Jerusalem hastening the coming of the day of retribution, when the city will be an object of... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 22:1-31

Ezekiel 22:8 . Thou hast profaned my sabbaths, the sabbatical days and years. This is repeated in Ezekiel 23:38, to show that the desecration of holy things filled up the measure of Judah’s sin: Ezekiel 20:12. Ezekiel 22:18 . They are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are even the dross of silver. Both the Vatican and the Alexandrian versions of the Septuagint represent the house of Israel as gold and silver mixed with those baser metals in the midst... read more
