以西结书 22:30

30 我 在 他 们 中 间 寻 找 一 人 重 修 墙 垣 , 在 我 面 前 为 这 国 站 在 破 口 防 堵 , 使 我 不 灭 绝 这 国 , 却 找 不 着 一 个 。

以西结书 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.

以西结书 22:30 In-Context

28 其 中 的 先 知 为 百 姓 用 未 泡 透 的 灰 抹 墙 , 就 是 为 他 们 见 虚 假 的 异 象 , 用 谎 诈 的 占 卜 , 说 : 主 耶 和 华 如 此 说 , 其 实 耶 和 华 没 有 说 。
29 国 内 众 民 一 味 地 欺 压 , 惯 行 抢 夺 , 亏 负 困 苦 穷 乏 的 , 背 理 欺 压 寄 居 的 。
30 我 在 他 们 中 间 寻 找 一 人 重 修 墙 垣 , 在 我 面 前 为 这 国 站 在 破 口 防 堵 , 使 我 不 灭 绝 这 国 , 却 找 不 着 一 个 。
31 所 以 我 将 恼 恨 倒 在 他 们 身 上 , 用 烈 怒 的 火 灭 了 他 们 , 照 他 们 所 行 的 报 应 在 他 们 头 上 。 这 是 主 耶 和 华 说 的 。
