The "near" refers to neighboring nations such as Ammon, Moab, and Edom, who were often in conflict with Israel. The "far" could include more distant nations like Babylon and Assyria, who had significant interactions with Israel. This mocking fulfills the warnings given in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-37.htm">Deuteronomy 28:37</a>, where God warns Israel that if they disobey, they will become "an object of scorn and ridicule to all the nations." The mockery from both near and far highlights the complete disgrace and the loss of respect that Jerusalem will suffer due to its sins.<p><b>O infamous city</b><br>Jerusalem, the city in question, was meant to be a beacon of God's presence and holiness, as seen in its selection as the site of the Temple (<a href="/1_kings/8-10.htm">1 Kings 8:10-11</a>). However, it became infamous due to its idolatry, injustice, and bloodshed, as detailed earlier in <a href="/ezekiel/22.htm">Ezekiel 22</a>. The term "infamous" suggests a reputation that has been tarnished by repeated transgressions. This infamy is a direct result of the city's failure to uphold the covenant with God, leading to its downfall and the subsequent exile of its people.<p><b>full of turmoil</b><br>The turmoil in Jerusalem is both internal and external. Internally, the city was rife with corruption, violence, and moral decay, as described in <a href="/ezekiel/22-6.htm">Ezekiel 22:6-12</a>. Leaders and priests were failing in their duties, leading to societal chaos. Externally, the city faced threats from powerful empires like Babylon, which would eventually lead to its destruction in 586 BC. This turmoil is a consequence of the people's rebellion against God, fulfilling the prophetic warnings of unrest and destruction found in <a href="/leviticus/26-14.htm">Leviticus 26:14-39</a>. The turmoil also serves as a type of the spiritual unrest that occurs when individuals or communities turn away from God's commandments.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a></b><br>A prophet during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel is tasked with delivering God's messages of judgment and hope to the Israelites.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/infamous_city.htm">Infamous City</a></b><br>Refers to Jerusalem, which had become notorious for its sins and rebellion against God.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/those_near_and_far.htm">Those Near and Far</a></b><br>Represents the surrounding nations and peoples who witness Jerusalem's downfall and mock its plight.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/turmoil.htm">Turmoil</a></b><br>Describes the chaos and moral decay within Jerusalem, leading to its judgment.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/b/babylonian_exile.htm">Babylonian Exile</a></b><br>The historical context in which Ezekiel prophesied, a period of great distress and reflection for the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_consequences_of_sin.htm">The Consequences of Sin</a></b><br>Sin leads to chaos and destruction, not only affecting the individual but also the community and its reputation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_justice.htm">God's Justice</a></b><br>God's judgment is a response to persistent rebellion and serves as a call to repentance and restoration.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/witness_to_the_nations.htm">Witness to the Nations</a></b><br>Our actions as believers are observed by others, and our faithfulness or lack thereof can either glorify God or bring reproach.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/repentance_and_restoration.htm">Repentance and Restoration</a></b><br>Even in judgment, God offers hope and a path to restoration for those who turn back to Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/m/moral_responsibility.htm">Moral Responsibility</a></b><br>Believers are called to uphold God's standards, recognizing the impact of their actions on their community and witness.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_ezekiel_22.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Ezekiel 22</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_does_the_bible_deem_immoral.htm">What are the consequences of our actions according to scripture?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_is_hyperbole_in_the_bible.htm">What is the Bible's view on drag queens?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_god_cite_jerusalem's_violence.htm">In Ezekiel 22:2-5, why does God single out Jerusalem's bloodshed without clear archaeological evidence of such extensive violence?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/should_christians_prep_for_doomsday.htm">Should Christians prepare for doomsday scenarios?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/ezekiel/22.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(5) <span class= "bld">Infamous and much vexed.</span>--It is better to omit the words in italics, <span class= "ital">which art. </span>The literal meaning of "infamous" is given in the margin; but the "much vexed" refers to the internal confusion, commotions, and social disorders which characterised the decaying state of the kingdom.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 5.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Those that be near</span>, etc. The Hebrew words are both feminine, and refer to the neighboring and distant cities which took up their proverbs of reproach against the city, once holy and faithful, now <span class="cmt_word">infamous</span> (Hebrew, <span class="accented">defiled in name</span>) <span class="accented"><span class="cmt_word"></span>and much vexed</span>.
