15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
15 I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you through the countries; and I will put an end to your uncleanness.
15 I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you through the countries, and I will consume your uncleanness out of you.
15 I'll throw you to the four winds. I'll scatter you all over the world. I'll put a full stop to your filthy living.
15 I will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the countries, and remove your filthiness completely from you.
15 I will scatter you among the nations and purge you of your wickedness.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:15
Commentary on Ezekiel 22:1-16
(Read Ezekiel 22:1-16)
The prophet is to judge the bloody city; the city of bloods. Jerusalem is so called, because of her crimes. The sins which Jerusalem stands charged with, are exceeding sinful. Murder, idolatry, disobedience to parents, oppression and extortion, profanation of the sabbath and holy things, seventh commandment sins, lewdness and adultery. Unmindfulness of God was at the bottom of all this wickedness. Sinners provoke God because they forget him. Jerusalem has filled the measure of her sins. Those who give up themselves to be ruled by their lusts, will justly be given up to be portioned by them. Those who resolve to be their own masters, let them expect no other happiness than their own hands can furnish; and a miserable portion it will prove.
