Ezekiel 22 is the twenty-second chapter of the Book of Ezekiel in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains the prophecies of the prophet Ezekiel, and is one of the Books of the Prophets. This chapter contains three separate prophecies centering on the inevitable punishment due to the guilt of Jerusalem.
The original text is written in Hebrew. Since the division of the Bible chapters and verses, this chapter contains 32 verses.
The chapter contains a denunciation of the various sins of Jerusalem coupled with a promise of judgment (verses 1-16). The prophet compares Jerusalem to metal filled with impurities, and promises that God will purge the impurities by burning (17-22). Ezekiel justifies the judgment against Jerusalem in terms of wrongful acts committed by various leaders, including prophets, priests, and the nobility (23-31).
For the Masoretic Text, one of the sources for reconstructing the oldest form of this book, some of the oldest manuscripts are the Codex Cairensis, the Aleppo Codex (10th century), and the Leningrad Codex (1008-1009). Ancient versions into Koine Greek, made by translation, include the Septuagint and Theodotion's version (from c. 180 AD).
