Ezekiel 22:24 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

Thou art the land that is not cleansed - not cleared or cultivated; all a scene of desolation: a fit emblem of the moral wilderness state of the people.

Nor rained upon - a mark of divine "indignation;" as the early and latter rain, on which the productiveness of the land depended, was one of the great covenant blessings. Joel 2:23 promises the return of "the former and latter rain," with the restoration of God's favour.
