Gill's Notes on the Bible

Make a chain,.... To bind them; not the robbers, the Chaldeans, but the Jews; in order either to bring them to the bar to be tried for capital crimes hereafter mentioned, or to be led bound in chains into captivity; see Nehemiah 3:10;

for the land is full of bloody crimes; or, "judgment of bloods" m; capital crimes, such as are deserving of death, particularly murder, or shedding of innocent blood; so the Targum interprets it of sins of murder:

and the city is full of violence; rapine, oppression, and injury done to the poor, the widow, and the fatherless; meaning the city of Jerusalem, where was the great court of judicature, and where justice ought to have been administered.

m משפט דמים "judicio sanguiuum", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin, Polanus, Starckius; "criminibus capitalibus", Piscator; "sanguianariis judiciis", Castalio.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Make a chain - Forge the chain, the chain of imprisonment determined for them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Ezekiel 7:23. Make a chain — Point out the captivity; show them that it shall come, and show them the reason: "Because the land is full of bloody crimes," &c.
