Ezekiel 7:22 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

My secret place. — The holy of holies, sacredly guarded from all intrusion, and representing the very culmination both of the religion and of the national life of Israel, shall be polluted. If the pronoun “they” represents any one in particular, it must be the Chaldæans; but it is better to take the verb, as often in the third person plural, impersonally, i.e., “shall be polluted.” The agents in this pollution are immediately mentioned as “the robbers,” i.e., the Chaldæan armies.

Ezekiel 7:22

22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbersf shall enter into it, and defile it.
