Context — The Sins of Jerusalem
11One man commits an abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
12In you they take bribes to shed blood. You engage in usury, take excess interest, and extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
13Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.
14Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act. 15I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you throughout the lands; I will purge your uncleanness.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 22:13
Behold, therefore, I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made,.... As one amazed at it; or as filled with indignation against it; or as grieved and distressed at it; so
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 22:13
Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:13
Behold; hear therefore, and mark, ye wicked Jews. I have smitten mine hand, in testimony of my abhorrence of your ways, as threatening to punish you, and setting on the fierce Babylonian upon you to execute my just displeasure. At thy dishonest gain; thy covetousness, the root of all the evils in thee; thy cursed, unsatiable hunger for wealth. Thy blood, which thou didst shed, that thou mightest then seize their estates; kill Naboths, and take possession.
Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:13
Ezekiel 22:13 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.Ver. 13. I have smitten my hand.] In token of utmost indignation, as Numbers 24:10. At thy dishonest gain which thou hast made.] The Jewish doctors observe, that, whereas twenty-four different abominations are here reckoned up, the destruction of the city is attributed chiefly to covetousness. Lycurgus foretold his Lacedaemonians that filthy lucre would be the overthrow of their city, and it proved so. The same is reported of Constantinople, of Babylon, the seat of the great Caliph, taken and sacked by Haalon, brother to Mango the great Khan of Tartary, who starved to death the rich but wretched Caliph in the midst of his hoards; 1ike as the Roman soldiers first slew Ruffinus, who affected to be co-emperor with Arcadius, and then cutting off his right hand, carried it up and down the city, crying out to the people, Date stipem viro avaritiae inexplebilis, Give an alms to a man of insatiable covetousness. Plutarch. Turkish History. Paraei, Med. Hist. Profan.
Ellicott's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:13
(13) Smitten mine hand.—See Note on Eze. Vi. 11, and comp. Ezekiel 22:17 and Ezekiel 22:13.
Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 22:13
13–22. The judgment on these vices 13. smitten mine hand] clapped my hands, cf. Ezekiel 21:14; Ezekiel 21:17, Ezekiel 6:11. The gesture is expressive of violent agitation, though the agitation may be due to different emotions—here disdain and dislike.
Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 22:13
13. Smitten mine hand at [or, in] — See note Ezekiel 6:11. Yet perhaps this is not a clapping of the hands, but a striking of the hand upon the evil object.
