Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 22:16

_ _ take thine inheritance in thyself — Formerly thou wast Mine inheritance; but now, full of guilt, thou art no longer Mine, but thine own inheritance to thyself; “in the sight of the heathen,” that is, even they shall see that, now that thou hast become a captive, thou art no longer owned as Mine [Vatablus]. Fairbairn and others needlessly take the Hebrew from a different root, “thou shalt be polluted by (‘in,’ [Henderson]) thyself,” etc.; the heathen shall regard thee as a polluted thing, who hast brought thine own reproach on thyself.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 22:1-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 22:16

In thyself — Whereas I was thine inheritance so long as thou wert a holy, obedient people; now be an inheritance to thyself, if thou canst.

Ezekiel 22:16

And thou shalt take thy (i) inheritance in thyself in the sight of the nations, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.

(i) You will be no more the inheritance of the Lord, but forsaken.
