Eze 22:5 | Strong Concordance | Those that be near [07138], and those that be far [07350] from thee, shall mock [07046] thee, which art infamous [02931] [08034] and much [07227] vexed [04103]. |
King James | Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed. |
A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
infamous--They mockingly call thee, "Thou polluted one in name (Margin), and full of confusion" [FAIRBAIRN], (referring to the tumultuous violence prevalent in it). Thus the nations "far and near" mocked her as at once sullied in character and in actual fact lawless. What a sad contrast to the Jerusalem once designated "'the holy city!" |
