Ezekiel 22:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 22:6

4 You have become guilty by the blood which you have ^ashed, and have defiled yourself with the idols which you have made. You have caused your days to draw near, and have come to the end of your years; ^btherefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mockery to all countries.

5 Those near and those far from you will mock you as¹ infamous and full of tumult.

6 “Look, ^athe princes of Israel: each one has used his¹ power to shed blood in you.

7 In you they have ^amade light of father and mother; in your midst they have ^boppressed the stranger; in you they have mistreated the¹ fatherless and the widow.

8 You have despised My holy things and ^aprofaned My Sabbaths.

9 In you are ^amen who slander to cause bloodshed; ^bin you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.

10 In you men ^auncover their fathers’ nakedness; in you they violate women who are ^bset apart during their impurity.
