God smashes the pretensions of the arrogant; he stands with those who have no standing.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Son of man, say unto her, thou land,.... Thou land of Israel, as the Targum:
thou art not cleansed; from filthiness, by the fire of divine judgments; or reformed from sins, by the instructions, cautions, and exhortations of the prophets; none of these things had any effect upon her to make her wiser and better. So the Targum,
"a land not cleansed it is, and good works are not done in it, to protect it in the day of cursing:''
nor rained upon in the day of indignation; no cooling shower to quench the fire of divine wrath; nothing to avert or stop the judgments of God; no refreshment and comfort from the doctrines of the prophets, which fell like rain: it is a judgment upon a people to have no rain, either in a temporal or spiritual sense; see Zechariah 14:17. In the Talmud h, this text is brought to prove that the flood did not come upon the land of Israel.
h T. Bab. Zebachim, fol. 113. 1.
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 “violence” to the Law is to misinterpret it. It was the special office of the priests to keep up the distinction between “holy” and “unholy,” “clean” and “unclean” 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 “stood in the gap.” 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 22:24. Thou art the land that is not cleansed — Thou art like a country where there is no rain, either to cleanse the garments, or fertilize the ground.
