Ezekiel 22:30 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I sought, very earnestly and diligently; spoken of God after the manner of man. A man; any one. Amongst them; among princes, prophets, priests, or people. That should make up the hedge; to repair the breach, and prevent further mischief. Stand in the gap; that might interpose between a sinful, suffering people and their offended God, and entreat for mercy, that the land might not be destroyed. But I found none; all were corrupted, not one but obstinately went on to sin and provoke me.

Ezekiel 22:30

30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
