Ezekiel 22:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 22:15

13 “Behold, therefore, I ^abeat My fists at the dishonest profit which you have made, and at the bloodshed which has been in your midst.

14 ^aCan your heart endure, or can your hands remain strong, in the days when I shall deal with you? ^bI, the Lord, have spoken, and will do it.

15 ^aI will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the countries, and ^bremove your filthiness completely from you.

16 You shall defile yourself in the sight of the nations; then ^ayou shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”

Israel in the Furnace

17 The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

18 “Son of man, ^athe house of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of a ^bfurnace; they have become dross from silver.

19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have all become dross, therefore behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

20 As men gather silver, bronze, iron, lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow fire on it, to ^amelt it; so I will gather you in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave you there and melt you.

21 Yes, I will gather you and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you shall be melted in its midst.

22 As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst; then you shall know that I, the Lord, have ^apoured out My fury on you.’ ”

Israel’s Wicked Leaders

23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

24 “Son of man, say to her: ‘You are a land that is ^anot cleansed or rained on in the day of indignation.’

25 ^aThe conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they ^bhave devoured people; ^cthey have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.
