“Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood. power: Heb. arm”
Ezekiel 22:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Ezekiel 22:6
"Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood." Leadership corruption heads the catalog of sins. "Every one" (ish, אִישׁ) emphasizes individual participation—not isolated cases but systematic abuse. "To their power" (lezero'o, לִזְרֹעוֹ, "according to his arm/strength") indicates leaders used authority for violence rather than justice. This indicts those with greatest responsibility and privilege for worst covenant violations.
