Ezekiel 22:15-16

Context
22:15 I will scatter you among the nations and disperse you among various countries; I will remove your impurity from you. 1  22:16 You will be profaned within yourself 2  in the sight of the nations; then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

1 sn The ultimate purpose of divine judgment is to purify the covenant community of its sins.

2 tc Several ancient versions read the verb as first person, in which case the Lord refers to how his people’s sin brings disgrace upon him. For a defense of the Hebrew text, see D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 1:712, n. 68, and M. Greenberg, Ezekiel (AB), 2:457-58.

tn The phrase “within yourself” is the same as the several previous occurrences of “within you” but adjusted to fit this clause which is the culmination of the series of indictments.
