Contextual Overview

1 The Word of the Lord came to me saying, 2 "Son of man, will you judge? Will you judge this city of blood? Then tell the people about all their sinful acts. 3 Tell them, ‘The Lord God says, "O city, because you have killed your own people and have made yourselves false gods to add to your sins, your time will come! 4 You have become guilty by killing your people, and sinful by the false gods you have made. You have brought the day of your punishment near. The end of your years has come. So I have made you a shame to the nations. All the countries laugh at you. 5 People both near and far will make fun of you, you who are full of shame and trouble. 6 See, each of the rulers of Israel who are in you has used his power to kill. 7 They have not honored father and mother within you. They have made it hard for the stranger living among you. They have done wrong to those in you who have lost their father or husband. 8 You have hated My holy things and have not kept My Days of Rest holy. 9 There are men in you who have lied about others to cause them to be put to death. Some have eaten at the altars on the mountains, and have done sex sins there. 10 Men have done sex sins with their fathers' wives. Men have put women to shame during their time of the month when they are unclean.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou hast despised mine holy things,.... The holy place, the temple, and the worship of it; holy persons, the priests that officiated there; holy sacrifices offered up by them; the holy word of God read and explained; and all holy ordinances there administered. These words are directed to Jerusalem, the holy city, and to the inhabitants of it, who ought to have been holy men:

and hast profaned my sabbaths; by doing their own work, and neglecting the service of God; and which was an inlet, as it usually is, to all manner of sin.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 22:8. Thou hast despised — All my ordinances are not only neglected, but treated with contempt; and my Sabbaths profaned. There is not only no power of godliness among you, but there is no form.
