THE MESSAGE
God 's Message came to me: "Son of man, are you going to judge this bloody city or not? Come now, are you going to judge her? Do it! Face her with all her outrageous obscenities. Tell her, ‘This is what God , the Master, says: You're a city murderous at the core, just asking for punishment. You're a city obsessed with no-god idols, making yourself filthy. In all your killing, you've piled up guilt. In all your idol-making, you've become filthy. You've forced a premature end to your existence. I'll put you on exhibit as the scarecrow of the nations, the world's worst joke. From far and near they'll deride you as infamous in filth, notorious for chaos.

Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord spoke to me. ² "Mortal man," he said, "are you ready to judge the city that is full of murderers? Make clear to her all the disgusting things she has done. ³ Tell the city what I, the Sovereign Lord , am saying: Because you have murdered so many of your own people and have defiled yourself by worshiping idols, your time is coming. ⁴ You are guilty of those murders and are defiled by the idols you made, and so your day is coming, your time is up! That is why I have let the nations make fun of you and all the countries sneer at you. ⁵ Countries nearby and countries far away sneer at you because of your lawlessness. ⁶ All Israel's leaders trust in their own strength and commit murder. ⁷ None of you in the city honor your parents. You cheat foreigners and take advantage of widows and orphans. ⁸ You have no respect for the holy places, and you don't keep the Sabbath. ⁹ Some of your people tell lies about others in order to have them put to death. Some of them eat sacrifices offered to idols. Some are always satisfying their lusts. ¹⁰ Some of them sleep with their father's wife. Some force women to have intercourse with them during their period.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The fourth word of judgment Ezekiel 22:1-16. The sins which have brought ruin upon Jerusalem are the sins which disgraced the pagan inhabitants of Canaan, whom the Israelites were to cast out (compare Leviticus 18:0). The commission of like sins would insure like judgment.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXII

This chapter contains a recital of the sins of Jerusalem, 1-12;

for which God threatens it with severe judgments, 13-16,

in order to purify it from the dross, 17-22.

And as the corruption is general, pervading prophets, priests,

princes, and people; so, it is declared, shall be the

punishment, 23-31.
