Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 22:23-31

23-31 All orders and degrees of men had helped to fill the measure of the nation's guilt. The people that had any power abused it, and even the buyers and sellers find some way to oppress one another. It bodes ill to a people when judgments are breaking in upon them, and the spirit of prayer is restrained. Let all who fear God, unite to promote his truth and righteousness; as wicked men of every rank and profession plot together to run them down. 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 22:31

“Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them, I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. Their own way have I brought on their heads, says the Lord Yahweh.” It was because of this total lack of worthiness among the ‘cream’ of the land that God brought on them His final judgment. Here He sees it as though it were already fulfilled. He has now purposed it, the future will outwork those purposes. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Ezekiel 22:31

Therefore, thus provoked by all, have I poured out mine indignation, as a flood to sweep them away. I have consumed them; kindled a fire against them, that will destroy them. Their own way, sinful abominable ways, have I recompensed upon their heads; brought these as a net on them, when as wild beasts taken in the pit to be destroyed. read more

The whole land had become corrupt, but Jerusalem was to be regarded as a concentration of the iniquity of the whole land. “Nor rained upon in the day 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
