Those that be far from thee; the barbarous Medes, Iberians, Hyrcanians, &c., to whom thou shalt be carried captive, whose land is far off.
Infamous; of a most infamous name.
Much vexed; afflicted, impoverished, and ruinated above what was ever done to any city.

5. infamousThey mockinglycall thee, “Thou polluted one in name (Margin), and fullof confusion” [FAIRBAIRN],(referring to the tumultuous violence prevalent in it). Thus thenations “far and near” mocked her as at once sullied incharacter and in actual fact lawless. What a sad contrast to theJerusalem once designated “the holy city!”

Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee,…. The neighbouring nations, as the Edomites, Philistines, Moabites, and Ammonites; and distant ones, as the Babylonians, Medes, and Persians; all that either hear of, or see their misery, shall rejoice at it, and triumph over them:
which art infamous and much vexed; or they shall say, O thou of an infamous name and character; who hast defiled thy name, got a blot upon it, and lost thy credit by thy conduct and behaviour; and now fretting and vexing under the afflictions and calamities that lie upon thee: or whose tumults are many, as the Targum; who hast been full of noise, and factions, and tumults; thou art now come to a righteous end.

(5) Infamous and much vexed.It is better to omit the words in italics, which art. 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.

Eze 22:5 [Those that be] near, and [those that be] far from thee, shall mock thee, [which art] infamous [and] much vexed.
Ver. 5. Shall mock thee, which are infamous. ] This was forethreatened. Deu 28:37 Our natures are most impatient of reproach; for there is none so mean but thinks himself worthy of some regard. Gens haec, saith Giraldus Cambrensis of the wild Irish, sicut et natio quaevis barbara, &c.; No nation is so barbarous, but that although they know not what belongeth to honour, yet do they exceedingly affect to be honoured, and will not abide to be reproached.

Eze 22:5. When a great city like Jerusalem is utterly destroyed it always causes much comment from the people of tiie countries. Some might make remarks that were prompted by sincere regret that so great a city should come to ruin. Others would speak in derision and exultation as over the downfall of a dreaded rival.
