View Wesley's Notes for Ezekiel 22:30
22:30 I sought - God speaks after the manner of men. A man - Any one, among princes, prophets, priests, or people, to repair the breach. And stand - Interpose between a sinful people, and their offended God, and intreat for mercy. But - All were corrupted.

GOD looked for a man among them. Likely through HIS eyes into eternity and found none. Jesus the SON of God and Man was the only one able to stand in the gap before GOD. This a profound verse.
