Ezekiel 22:1-31

Another Indictment of Jerusalem

The various religious and social evils that prevail in the city are recited (Ezekiel 22:1). Their coming punishment is then predicted, first in direct terms (Ezekiel 22:13), and next under the figure of a smelting furnace (Ezekiel 22:17). Lastly, all classes in Jerusalem, prophets, priests, princes, and people, are included in the general condemnation (Ezekiel 22:23).
