Ezekiel 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.

Ezekiel 22:13 In-Context

11 Chez toi, l'un se livre à des abominations avec la femme de son prochain, l'autre souille sa belle-fille par l'inceste, et l'autre fait violence à sa sœur, la fille de son père.
12 Chez toi, l'on reçoit des présents pour répandre le sang; tu prends l'intérêt et l'usure, tu dépouilles ton prochain par la violence, et tu m'oublies, dit le Seigneur, l'Éternel.
13 Voici, je frappe des mains à cause des spoliations que tu as commises, et du sang qui a été répandu au milieu de toi.
14 Ton cœur tiendra-t-il bon, tes mains resteront-elles fermes, dans les jours où j'agirai contre toi? Moi, l'Éternel, j'ai parlé, et je le ferai.
15 Je te disperserai parmi les nations; je te disséminerai en divers pays, et je ferai disparaître la souillure du milieu de toi.
