Wesley's Notes

22:27 Destroy souls - Ruin families; cutting off the fathers, and impoverishing the widow, and fatherless.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

27. princes-who should have employed the influence of their position for the people's welfare, made "gain" their sole aim.

wolves-notorious for fierce and ravening cruelty (Mic 3:2, 3, 9-11; Joh 10:12).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

22:23-31 All orders and degrees of men had helped to fill the measure of the nation's guilt. The people that had any power abused it, and even the buyers and sellers find some way to oppress one another. It bodes ill to a people when judgments are breaking in upon them, and the spirit of prayer is restrained. Let all who fear God, unite to promote his truth and righteousness; as wicked men of every rank and profession plot together to run them down.


Ezekiel 22:13 "Behold, then, I smite My hand at your dishonest gain which you have acquired and at the bloodshed which is among you.
