10 In you are those who dishonor their father's bed; in you are those who violate women during their period, when they are ceremonially unclean.
10 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
10 In you men uncover their fathers' nakedness; in you they violate women who are unclean in their menstrual impurity.
10 Incest is common. Men force themselves on women regardless of whether they're ready or willing.
10 In you men uncover their fathers' nakedness; in you they violate women who are set apart during their impurity.
10 Men sleep with their fathers' wives and force themselves on women who are menstruating.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:10
Commentary on Ezekiel 22:1-16
(Read Ezekiel 22:1-16)
The prophet is to judge the bloody city; the city of bloods. Jerusalem is so called, because of her crimes. The sins which Jerusalem stands charged with, are exceeding sinful. Murder, idolatry, disobedience to parents, oppression and extortion, profanation of the sabbath and holy things, seventh commandment sins, lewdness and adultery. Unmindfulness of God was at the bottom of all this wickedness. Sinners provoke God because they forget him. Jerusalem has filled the measure of her sins. Those who give up themselves to be ruled by their lusts, will justly be given up to be portioned by them. Those who resolve to be their own masters, let them expect no other happiness than their own hands can furnish; and a miserable portion it will prove.
