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?

G. Campbell Morgan

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 22:9-11

“Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood, and in you they have eaten on the mountains. In the midst of you they have committed lewdness. In you they have discovered their fathers’ nakedness, in you they have humbled her who was unclean in her separation. And one has committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter in law, and another in you has humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.” The catalogue of sins continues. And this was in what they... 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 22:10

Like wild Arabians, the worst of heathens, there have been and are some that incestuously defile their fathers’ bed. Humbled; it seems to imply a force and violence offered to the persons, whether virgins or married, whom at unseasonable time they forced to satisfy their lusts: forbidden Leviticus 18:19; Leviticus 20:18, and that on very just reasons, and for preventing many mischiefs, which follow such unseasonable commixtures. read more

Joseph Exell

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

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-31

Chapter 22Now, why would God do this? Chapter 22 he now tells us the things that were happening and the sins for which God's judgment was coming.Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations. Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; The city is filled with murders in the midst of it, the shedding of blood, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile... read more
