Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 22:26

_ _ Her priests — whose “lips should have kept knowledge” (Malachi 2:7).

_ _ violated — not simply transgressed; but, have done violence to the law, by wresting it to wrong ends, and putting wrong constructions on it.

_ _ put no difference between the holy and profane, etc. — made no distinction between the clean and unclean (Leviticus 10:10), the Sabbath and other days, sanctioning violations of that holy day. “Holy” means, what is dedicated to God; “profane,” what is in common use; “unclean,” what is forbidden to be eaten; “clean,” what is lawful to be eaten.

_ _ I am profaned among them — They abuse My name to false or unjust purposes.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 22:23-31.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 22:26

My holy things — Sacrifices, and oblations. Put no difference — Neither have they in their practice, differenced holy and profane, nor in their teaching acquainted the people with the difference, nor in the exercise of their authority, separated the profane from the holy, either persons, or things. Hid their eyes — Despised, and would not see the holiness of the sabbaths. Profaned — Contemned, dishonoured, disobeyed.
