8 You have despised my holy things and desecrated my Sabbaths.
8 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
8 You have despised my holy things and profaned my Sabbaths.
8 You treat my holy things with contempt and desecrate my Sabbaths.
8 You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.
8 You despise my holy things and violate my Sabbath days of rest.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:8
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.
