Ezekiel 22:30
_ _ the hedge — the wall (see on Ezekiel 13:5); image for leading the people to repentance.
_ _ the gap — the breach (Psalms 106:23); image for interceding between the people and God (Genesis 20:7; Exodus 32:11; Numbers 16:48).
_ _ I found none — (Jeremiah 5:1) — not that literally there was not a righteous man in the city. For Jeremiah, Baruch, etc., were still there; but Jeremiah had been forbidden to pray for the people (Jeremiah 11:14), as being doomed to wrath. None now, of the godly, knowing the desperate state of the people, and God’s purpose as to them, was willing longer to interpose between God’s wrath and them. And none “among them,” that is, among those just enumerated as guilty of such sins (Ezekiel 22:25-29), was morally able for such an office. |
Ezekiel 22:30
I sought — God speaks after the manner of men. A man — Any one, among princes, prophets, priests, or people, to repair the breach. And stand — Interpose between a sinful people, and their offended God, and intreat for mercy. But — All were corrupted. |
Ezekiel 22:30
And I sought for a man among them, that should (q) make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
(q) Who would show himself zealous in my cause by resisting vice, (Isaiah 59:16) also pray to me to withhold my plagues, (Psalms 106:23). |
- I sought:
- God, speaking after the manner of men, sought for some Moses, Phinehas, or Samuel, to stand in the gap on this occasion; but as he found none, its destruction was inevitable.
Isaiah 59:16 And he saw that [there was] no man, and wondered that [there was] no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
Isaiah 63:5 And I looked, and [there was] none to help; and I wondered that [there was] none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
Jeremiah 5:1 Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be [any] that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.

- make:
Ezekiel 13:5 Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
Genesis 18:23-32 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? ... And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
Exodus 32:10-14 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. ... And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Psalms 106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].
Jeremiah 15:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] toward this people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.
