Ezequiel 22:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 22:13

Behold, therefore, I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest
gain which thou hast made
As one amazed at it; or as filled with indignation against it; or as grieved and distressed at it; so Jarchi and Kimchi: or else as rejoicing at the punishment going to be inflicted on them for it. So the Septuagint renders it,

``I will bring my hand upon them;''

and the Targum,

``behold, I will bring my vengeance upon thee for the sins of mammon

Jarchi and Kimchi observe from their Rabbins, that four and twenty sins are recited by Ezekiel; but the final sentence of punishment is for rapine or dishonest gain, which is the greatest evil of all, ( 1 Timothy 6:10 ) : and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee;
the innocent blood shed in the midst of her; not so much by thieves and cutthroats, as under a pretence of justice which was very abominable indeed; against which the Lord expresses just and strong resentment.

Soberano.

13 »”Sin embargo, ahora yo bato las palmas con indignación por tus ganancias deshonestas y tu derramamiento de sangre.

14 ¿Qué tan fuerte y valiente serás en el día del juicio? Yo, el Señor
, he hablado y cumpliré lo que he dicho.

15 Te esparciré por todas las naciones y te limpiaré de tu maldad;
