Albert Barnes Commentary
"Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed, and art defiled in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries." — Ezekiel 22:4 (ASV)
Your days, — that is, of judgment; "your years," that is, of visitation (compare Ezekiel 20:25, Ezekiel 20:39).
A reproach ... a mocking — Judah shall be like the Ammonites (Ezekiel 21:28).
