Contextual Overview

1 The Lord spoke his word to me, saying: 2 "And you, human, will you judge? Will you judge the city of murderers? Then tell her about all her hateful acts. 3 You are to say: ‘This is what the Lord God says: You are a city that kills those who come to live there. You make yourself unclean by making idols. 4 You have become guilty of murder and have become unclean by your idols which you have made. So you have brought your time of punishment near; you have come to the end of your years. That is why I have made you a shame to the nations and why all lands laugh at you. 5 Those near and those far away laugh at you with your bad name, you city full of confusion. 6 "‘Jerusalem, see how each ruler of Israel in you has been trying to kill people. 7 The people in you hate their fathers and mothers. They mistreat the foreigners in you and wrong the orphans and widows in you. 8 You hate my holy things and dishonor my Sabbaths. 9 The men in you tell lies to cause the death of others. The people in you eat food offered to idols at the mountain places of worship, and they take part in sexual sins. 10 The men in you have sexual relations with their fathers' wives and with women who are unclean, during their time of monthly bleeding.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In thee have they discovered their father's nakedness,.... Or, "he discovered" b, or "uncovered", it being in the singular number; though the Targum, Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions, read in the plural; this, though committed, was done but by a few; it being a sin not so much as named among men, as for a man to lie with his father's wife, 1 Corinthians 5:1 as Reuben did,

Genesis 35:22 and which is expressly forbidden; and is mentioned first as the capital sin of uncleanness, Leviticus 18:6:

in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution; ravished and deflowered such women who had their menstrues; to lie with such was prohibited by the law of God, Leviticus 18:19, so that here was a double sin committed; a rape of a woman, whether married or unmarried, at the time of her purgation or sickness; and such a copulation, which at another time would be lawful, ought to be abstained from at such a time, as prejudicial to themselves, and to their posterity, as well as contrary to the divine law.

b גלה "revelavit", Montanus; "discooperuit", Vatablus; "retegit", Junius Tremellius, Polanus "[sub.] filius", Piscator.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Set apart for pollution - Or, “unclean by reason of impurity” Leviticus 12:2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 22:10. In thee have they discovered — They are guilty of the most abominable incest and unnatural lust.

In thee have they humbled — In their unholy and unnatural connexions, they have not abstained from those set apart because of their infirmities. The catalogue of crimes that follow is too plain to require comment.
