Commentary on Ezekiel 22:6

Theological / Devotional

To their power. Literally, “according to his arm,” that is, according to his strength. The princes of Judah disregarded justice and ruled according to their personal pleasure.

To shed blood. Notice the threefold occurrence of this refrain (vs. 6, 9, 12). Under three heads the prophet enumerates Israel’s sins: under the first, sins of inhumanity and profanation (vs. 6-8); under the second, sins of idolatry, incest, and lewdness (vs. 9-11); under the third, avarice and covetousness (v. 12).
