Notes

Ezekiel 22:13–16

God first showed his anger with the image of clapping his hands. This action expressed strong displeasure. Then he announced that he would pour out judgment.

The first judgment was exile. God would scatter the people of Judah among other nations. Through this scattering, God would remove their wickedness and cleanse them from sin.

Ezekiel 22:1–31

Jerusalem was the holy city where God had placed his name. It was the spiritual center of Judah. The city represented God’s presence among his people.

But Jerusalem had become corrupt and unclean. Instead of honoring God, the city was full of violence and bloodshed. Because of this sin, God’s wrath (his just anger against sin) would come upon the city.
