Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
Son of man, tell her: You're like land that's never been washed clean, never had rain fall on it during the time of God's anger.
When God's upset, even the refreshing rain stops coming.
📚 Historical Context
Ezekiel was a prophet ministering to the exiled Jewish people in Babylon during the 6th century BC, a time of great turmoil as Judah faced divine judgment for its sins. In Ezekiel 22, God is exposing the rampant corruption, idolatry, and injustice among Israel's leaders and people, using vivid imagery to warn of impending destruction. The verse portrays Jerusalem as a defiled land that receives no rain, symbolizing spiritual barrenness and God's withholding of blessing amid His wrath.
