Wesley's Notes

22:4 Thy days - The days of thy sorrows, and punishment. Art come - Thou art grown up to the eldest years in sin, beyond which thou art not to go.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4. thy days-the shorter period, namely, that of the siege.

thy years-the longer period of the captivity. The "days" and "years" express that she is ripe for punishment.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

22:1-16 The prophet is to judge the bloody city; the city of bloods. Jerusalem is so called, because of her crimes. The sins which Jerusalem stands charged with, are exceeding sinful. Murder, idolatry, disobedience to parents, oppression and extortion, profanation of the sabbath and holy things, seventh commandment sins, lewdness and adultery. Unmindfulness of God was at the bottom of all this wickedness. Sinners provoke God because they forget him. Jerusalem has filled the measure of her sins. Those who give up themselves to be ruled by their lusts, will justly be given up to be portioned by them. Those who resolve to be their own masters, let them expect no other happiness than their own hands can furnish; and a miserable portion it will prove.


2 Kings 21:16 Moreover, Manasseh shed very much innocent blood until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah sin, in doing evil in the sight of the LORD.
Psalm 44:13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and a derision to those around us.
Psalm 44:14 You make us a byword among the nations, A laughingstock among the peoples.
Ezekiel 5:14 'Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by.
Ezekiel 5:15 'So it will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.
Ezekiel 16:57 before your wickedness was uncovered, so now you have become the reproach of the daughters of Edom and of all who are around her, of the daughters of the Philistines-- those surrounding you who despise you.
Ezekiel 24:7 "For her blood is in her midst; She placed it on the bare rock; She did not pour it on the ground To cover it with dust.
Ezekiel 24:8 "That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, That it may not be covered." (NASB ©1995)
