Contextual Overview

16The survivors among them will escapeand live on the mountains.Like doves of the valley,all of them will moan,each over his own iniquity. 17All their hands will become weak,and all their knees will run with urine. 18They will put on sackcloth,and horror will overwhelm them.Shame will cover all their faces,and all their heads will be bald. 19They will throw their silver into the streets,and their gold will seem like something filthy.Their silver and gold will be unable to save themin the day of the Lord’s wrath.They will not satisfy their appetitesor fill their stomachs,for these were the stumbling blocksthat brought about their iniquity. 20He appointed his beautiful ornaments for majesty,but they made their detestable images from them,their abhorrent things.Therefore, I have made theseinto something filthy to them. 21I will hand these things overto foreigners as plunderand to the wicked of the earth as spoil,and they will profane them. 22I will turn my face from themas they profane my treasured place.Violent men will enter it and profane it.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My face will one turn also from them,.... Deny them his presence, and withdraw his protection from them; show them no favour, nor afford them any help and succour in their distress, when they cry unto him; so the Targum,

"I will cause my Shechinah to remove from them:''

unless the Chaldeans are meant, as some think, whose robberies and ravages the Lord would wink at, and not restrain, but suffer them to plunder and spoil at pleasure: since it follows,

and they shall pollute my secret [place]; the holy of holies, by going into it, which none but the high priest might do, and he but once a year; though the Targum understands this of the Jews, and makes it to be a reason of what is threatened in the preceding clause, rendering it thus,

"because they have profaned the land of the house of my Shechinah:''

for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it; as did the king of Babylon and his army; and afterwards, in the second temple, Antiochus, Pompey, and Titus Vespasian.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My secret place - The inner sanctuary, hidden from the multitude, protected by the most high.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 7:22. The robbers shall enter into it — The Chaldeans shall not only destroy the city; but they shall enter the temple, deface it, plunder it, and burn it to the ground.
