Ezekiel 22:11 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-16

In these verses the prophet by a commission from Heaven sits as a judge upon the bench, and Jerusalem is made to hold up her hand as a prisoner at the bar; and, if prophets were set over other nations, much more over God's nation, Jer. 1:10. This prophet is authorized to judge the bloody city, the city of bloods. Jerusalem is so called, not only because she had been guilty of the particular sin of blood-shed, but because her crimes in general were bloody crimes (Ezek. 7:23), such as polluted... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 22:11

And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife ,.... The sin of adultery, which is an abominable sin; it is so to God, and it should be so to man: or, "a man hath committed" F3 ואיש־עשה "et vir fecit"; Cocceius. ; some man of note, a great man; for this sin prevailed among the princes and nobles: or "everyone"; it being a general vice, which obtained among all ranks, high and low, rich and poor: and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law ; his wife's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-12

The reproach of Jerusalem. Patriot as he was, Ezekiel was not, like some sincere patriots, blind to his country's faults. His conscience and judgment were enlightened, and his emotional nature was rendered especially sensitive, so that a just and deep impression was made upon his mind by the contemplation of his countrymen's errors and iniquities. Leaders of public opinion, teachers of the time, are ever in danger of flattering those among whom their lot is cast, with whom their interests... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-16

The prophet on the judgment-seat. As among men there occurs, now and again, a great assize, when flagitious deeds are examined and flagrant offenders judged, so God has his seasons when high-handed crime is arrested, and the offenders feel the reality of Divine justice. Penalties are not awarded in the dark. Good men see clearly the equity of the proceeding and the extreme patience of the Judge. God places his doings in the public light. I. THE INDICTMENT . It is a long indictment,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-16

An appalling indictment and a just judgment. "Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city?" etc. "This chapter," says Fairbaim, "stands closely related to the last chapter, and may fitly be regarded as supplementary to it; the former having presented a striking delineation of the Lord's purpose to execute the severity of his displeasure upon the people of Jerusalem, while this returns to lay open the fearful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Ezekiel 22:11-12

The list of sins follows on the lines of Le Ezekiel 18:9 , Ezekiel 18:15 . (For those in Ezekiel 18:12 , see notes on Ezekiel 18:12 .) It is to be remarked, however, that the prophet does not confine himself to the mere enumeration of specific sins. These are traced to their source in that "forgetting God" which was at once the starting-point and the consummation of all forms of evil (comp. Romans 1:28 ). read more

Ezekiel 22:6-12. Behold, the princes of Israel, &c. Probably the members of the great sanhedrim, or the king’s counsellors and chief officers, are here intended; every one in thee Not one to be found of a more merciful temper; to their power According to their ability; to shed blood Every one of the princes committed acts of violence, and shed blood, as far as he had it in his power to do it.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 22:1-31

National decay (22:1-31)With Jerusalem’s end approaching, God again told Ezekiel to show the city its sins and the humiliating judgment that these sins would bring upon it (22:1-5). Powerful people exploited others, without any respect for the laws of God or the dignity of their fellow human beings (6-8). The corrupt city was characterized by lies, violence, idolatry, bribery, oppression and sexual sins of the worse kind (9-12). God warned that in punishment for its wickedness, he would destroy... read more
