22 I will turn my face away from the people, and robbers will desecrate the place I treasure. They will enter it and will defile it.
22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers
22 I will turn my face from them, and they shall profane my treasured
22 I'll turn my face so I won't have to look as my treasured place and people are violated, As violent strangers walk in and desecrate place and people -
22 I will turn My face from them, And they will defile My secret place; For robbers shall enter it and defile it.
22 I will turn my eyes from them as these robbers invade and defile my treasured land.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Ezekiel 7:22
Commentary on Ezekiel 7:16-22
(Read Ezekiel 7:16-22)
Sooner or later, sin will cause sorrow; and those who will not repent of their sin, may justly be left to pine away in it. There are many whose wealth is their snare and ruin; and the gaining the world is the losing of their souls. Riches profit not in the day of wrath. The wealth of this world has not that in it which will answer the desires of the soul, or be any satisfaction to it in a day of distress. God's temple shall stand them in no stead. Those are unworthy to be honoured with the form of godliness, who will not be governed by its power.
