Ezekiel 22:4

4 You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and have come even to your years: therefore I have made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.

Commentary

Adam Clarke
Verse 4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood - Thou art guilty of blood.
Pulpit Commentary
Eze 22:4

Thou hast caused thy days to draw near, etc. As in Eze 22:3, the days and the years are those of God’s judgments. The people had made no effort to avert their doom by repentance. They had, as it were, rushed upon their appointed fate. So, though in another sense, the righteous lives of the faithful are said, in 2Pe 3:12, to "hasten the coming of the day of God." Exceptional evil and exceptional good alike hasten the approach of the day which is to decide between the two.
