Ezechiele 22:11 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:11

And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife,
&c.] The sin of adultery, which is an abominable sin; it is so to God, and it should be so to man: or, "a man hath committed" F3; some man of note, a great man; for this sin prevailed among the princes and nobles: or "everyone"; it being a general vice, which obtained among all ranks, high and low, rich and poor: and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law;
his wife's daughter, or his son's wife, contrary to ( Leviticus 18:15 Leviticus 18:17 ) : and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter:
his own sister, begotten of the same father, though it may be not born of the same mother; yet the relation is too near for marriage; and besides, it is a rape that is here intended; and the uncovering of the nakedness of a sister, whether by father or mother's side, whether born at home or abroad, is prohibited, ( Leviticus 18:9 ) , and some have thought that all these acts of uncleanness were committed in honour of their idols, and when they worshipped them on the mountains, ( Ezekiel 22:9 ) .

Ezechiele 22:11 In-Context

9 In te c’è della gente che calunnia per spandere il sangue, in te si mangia sui monti, in mezzo a te si commettono scelleratezze.
10 E in te si scoprono le vergogne del padre, in te si violenta la donna durante la sua impurità;
11 in te l’uno commette abominazione con la moglie del suo prossimo, l’altro contamina d’incesto la sua nuora, l’altro violenta la sua sorella, figliuola di suo padre.
12 In te si ricevono regali per spandere del sangue; tu prendi interesse, dài ad usura, trai guadagno dal prossimo con la violenza, e dimentichi me, dice il Signore, l’Eterno.
13 Ma ecco, io batto le mani, a motivo del disonesto guadagno che fai, e del sangue da te sparso, ch’è in mezzo di te.
