Commentary on Ezekiel 22:3
"Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself." Jerusalem's twin crimes—bloodshed and idolatry—bring judgment. "Sheddeth blood in the midst" (shofekhet dam be-tokha, שֹׁפֶכֶת דָּם בְּתוֹכָהּ) indicates violence at the city's heart, not periphery. "Maketh idols against herself" shows self-destructive folly—idolatry harms the worshiper. The phrase "that her time may come" (lavo ittah, לָבוֹא עִתָּהּ) indicates these sins hasten judgment's arrival.
