Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 13:22

_ _ ye have made ... the righteous sad — by lying predictions of calamities impending ever the godly.

_ _ strengthened ... wicked — (Jeremiah 23:14).

_ _ heart of ... righteous ... hands of ... wickedHeart is applied to the righteous because the terrors foretold penetrated to their inmost feelings; hands, to the wicked because they were so hardened as not only to despise God in their minds, but also to manifest it in their whole acts, as if avowedly waging war with Him.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 13:17-23.
