This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Her princes, as before, Eze_22:25,26. Princes; rulers of all sorts, who should have crushed oppressors and defended the oppressed. Wolves; creatures greedy, bloody, and crafty, resembling dogs that men make use of to defend their folds; so the authority which God had given to defend is by these hypocrites perverted to satisfy the bloody and greedy appetite of tyrannical governors among the Jews: possibly the prophet may tax the degeneracy and baseness of these rulers hereby. Shed blood; innocent blood; a crying sin in princes, who have God’s power committed to them to preserve the innocent.



Destroy souls; undo and ruin families, cutting off the fathers, and impoverishing the widow and fatherless.



Get dishonest gain; confiscating estates not forfeited.
