以西結書 22:30

30 我 在 他 們 中 間 尋 找 一 人 重 修 牆 垣 , 在 我 面 前 為 這 國 站 在 破 口 防 堵 , 使 我 不 滅 絕 這 國 , 卻 找 不 著 一 個 。

以西結書 22:30 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:30

And I sought for a man among them
among the princes, priests, prophets, and people of the land, who acted the part as above described; for otherwise, no doubt, there were good people in the land, as Jeremiah, Baruch, and others, but not among these: that should make up the hedge;
that was broken down by the transgressions of the people, who exceeded all bounds of law and justice; one that would restrain them from sinning, and reform them, and set them a good example; one, as the Targum has it,

``whose works were good;''
a good man, that would endeavour by his influence to stop the breaking in of sin, and the consequences of it: and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy
it;
in the gap that sin had made, at which the Lord was entering as a man of war to destroy the transgressors; one that should present himself to the Lord on the behalf of the people; seek mercy for them, as the Targum; interpose between God and them, and act the part of an intercessor; pray for them, as Moses did for the people of Israel, that he would not destroy them; see ( Psalms 106:23 ) : but I found none;
no reformer of them, no repairer of the breach, nor restorer of paths, to dwell in; no intercessor for them, as Abraham for Sodom, Moses for Israel; or any, like Aaron, that stood between the living and the dead to stay the plague.

以西結書 22:30 In-Context

28 其 中 的 先 知 為 百 姓 用 未 泡 透 的 灰 抹 牆 , 就 是 為 他 們 見 虛 假 的 異 象 , 用 謊 詐 的 占 卜 , 說 : 主 耶 和 華 如 此 說 , 其 實 耶 和 華 沒 有 說 。
29 國 內 眾 民 一 味 地 欺 壓 , 慣 行 搶 奪 , 虧 負 困 苦 窮 乏 的 , 背 理 欺 壓 寄 居 的 。
30 我 在 他 們 中 間 尋 找 一 人 重 修 牆 垣 , 在 我 面 前 為 這 國 站 在 破 口 防 堵 , 使 我 不 滅 絕 這 國 , 卻 找 不 著 一 個 。
31 所 以 我 將 惱 恨 倒 在 他 們 身 上 , 用 烈 怒 的 火 滅 了 他 們 , 照 他 們 所 行 的 報 應 在 他 們 頭 上 。 這 是 主 耶 和 華 說 的 。
