Gill's Notes on the Bible
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey,.... The king and his nobles, those of the first rank and quality, who ought to have protected the persons and property of the meaner sort; these were like "wolves" themselves, subtle, voracious, and cruel, preying upon harmless persons, as those creatures do upon the sheep and lambs:
to shed blood; innocent blood, as the Targum:
and to destroy souls; take away lives, under a pretence of treasonable practices, and all with a view to get dishonest gain; that their estates may be forfeited, their goods confiscated, and got into their hands.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The sixth word of judgment. The special sins of princes, priests, and people.
Ezekiel 22:26
Violated - Better as in margin; to offer âviolenceâ to the Law is to misinterpret it. It was the special office of the priests to keep up the distinction between âholyâ and âunholy,â âcleanâ and âuncleanâ Leviticus 10:10.
Ezekiel 22:28
See the marginal reference note.
Ezekiel 22:30
The land might be said to perish for the lack of such interpositions as saved their forefathers when Moses âstood in the gap.â This was a proof of the general corruption, that there was not in the city sufficient righteousness to save it from utter destruction. Prince, prophet, priest, all fail.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 22:27. Her princes — Are as bad as her priests; they are rapacious, and grievously oppress the people by unjust impositions in order to increase their revenues.
