Others, that God doth forbid him to plead for it, or be solicitous about it. I rather think God doth awake: him to more vigorous reproving of this sinful people, and threatening them for sin. The question is doubled to awaken the prophet more fully, and to quicken him to his work. <\/P> The bloody city; <\/B>Jerusalem, which is guilty of the murders of innocent ones, of prophets and holy men. <\/P> Show her; <\/B>make her know, at least tell her by writing; for the prophet was at Babylon now, and could not speak to then at Jerusalem, but he might and must send word to then what their abominations were. <\/P> All her abominations; <\/B>all the kinds, not all individual acts of them. <\/P> <\/p>\n 2.<\/B> See Eze20:4<\/span>; that is, “Wilt thou not<\/I> judge?” c.(compare Eze 23:36<\/span>). <\/P> the bloody city<\/B>literally,”the city of bloods” so called on account of murdersperpetrated in her, and sacrifices of children to Molech (Eze 22:3<\/span>;Eze 22:4<\/span>; Eze 22:6<\/span>;Eze 22:9<\/span>; Eze 24:6<\/span>;Eze 24:9<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city<\/strong>?…. Or, “city of bloods” y? the city of Jerusalem, in which was shed the blood of the prophets sent unto her; the doubling of the word denotes the vehemency with which it was expressed: wilt thou plead for and excuse such a city as this? surely no; so some: or wilt thou do thy work and office as a prophet? hast thou courage enough to do it? will thou rebuke and reprove? as the Targum; wilt thou examine her case, judge truly, and condemn her, as thou oughtest to do? hast thou an inclination to take this affair in hand? then be directed to it, as follows:<\/p>\n yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations<\/strong>; lay them before her; convict her of them; show her the evil of them, and the punishment they deserve; every kind of sin she was guilty of; for, as for particular acts, it was impossible to reckon them; those sins that were the most flagrant, and most frequently committed, and which were abominable to the Lord, and rendered her so in his sight, are intended.<\/p>\n y “civitatem sanguinum”, V.

The same words are used in Eze. 24:6<\/span>; Eze. 24:9<\/span>, and in Nah. 3:1<\/span>.<\/p>\n DESCRIPTION OF THE GROSS SINS OF THE INHABITANTS OF JERUSALEM, INCLUDING EVEN THE PROPHETS AND PRIESTS OF JEHOVAH.<\/p>\n 2<\/strong>. <\/strong> Wilt thou judge <\/strong> [see Eze 20:4<\/span> ] the bloody city <\/strong> What a name for the holy sanctuary, now filled with child sacrifices (Eze 20:26<\/span>) and murders (Eze 22:6<\/span>; Eze 22:9<\/span>; Eze 9:10<\/span>; Eze 16:38<\/span>; Eze 23:37<\/span>; Eze 23:45<\/span>). <\/p>\n Yea, thou shalt show <\/strong> Literally, then cause her to know.<\/p>\n Eze 22:2<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Wilt thou judge? <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> Wilt thou not judge, wilt thou not judge?<\/em> &c. <\/p>\n Eze 22:2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.<\/p>\n Ver. 2.

See note on Eze 2:1. <\/p>\n judge = pronounce judgment on. See Eze 20:4; Eze 23:36. <\/p>\n bloody city = city of bloods: bloods (plural of Majesty) much blood. Put by Figure of speech Metonymy (of Sebjeet), App-6, for great bloodshed: referring to those put to death for the truth’s sake by the wicked rulers. So in Cr Eze 3:4, Eze 6:12, Eze 6:27. <\/p>\n abominations = idolatries. <\/p>\n judge: or, plead for, Eze 20:4, Eze 23:36 <\/p>\n bloody city: Heb. city of bloods, Eze 23:45, Eze 24:6, Eze 24:9, 2Ki 21:16, 2Ki 24:3, 2Ki 24:4, Jer 2:30, Jer 2:34, Hos 4:2, Nah 3:1, Mat 23:35, Mat 27:25, Luk 11:50, Act 7:52 <\/p>\n thou shalt: Eze 16:2, Isa 58:1, 1Ti 5:20 <\/p>\n show her: Heb. make her know <\/p>\n her abominations: Eze 8:9-17, Eze 16:1-63, Eze 23:1-49 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ki 17:19 – Also Judah 2Ki 21:8 – only if they Isa 26:10 – in the Isa 59:3 – your hands Isa 59:12 – our transgressions Jer 5:26 – For Jer 6:27 – General Jer 32:31 – this city Lam 1:8 – hath Eze 9:9 – The iniquity Eze 11:6 – General Eze 22:4 – that thou Eze 22:13 – and at Eze 23:37 – and blood Eze 33:29 – because Mic 3:8 – to declare<\/p>\n Eze 22:2-5. Wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? Wilt thou plead for it? Or rather, Wilt thou not judge? see note on Eze 20:4. The expression is doubled to awaken the prophet more fully, and to quicken him to his work. Jerusalem is termed the bloody city, Hebrew, , the city of bloods, because of the blood of innocent persons, of children sacrificed to Moloch, and of prophets and righteous men shed in her, and that by courts of justice under colour of law. Yea, thou shalt show her Make her know; all her abominations That I may be justified in all the desolations which I have brought, and shall still more fully bring upon her. The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it Openly and impudently; that her time may come The time of her destruction, as the consequence of her having filled up the measure of her iniquities; and maketh idols against herself To her own ruin. Thou hast caused thy days to draw near The days of thy sorrows and sufferings; and art come even to thy years To the end of thy years of trial, so that thou shalt be borne with no longer. Therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen Have exposed thee to their contempt and scorn; and a mocking to all countries A proverb, and a by-word, and cause of astonishment to all people, according to the prediction of Moses, (Deu 28:37,) and the solemn warning given by the Lord to Solomon, when he appeared to him after the dedication of the temple, 1Ki 9:7. Those that are near And are eye-witnesses of thy apostacy and degeneracy, as the Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, and Philistines; and those that be far from thee The Medes, Persians, Hyrcanians, &c., to whom thou shalt be carried captive; shall mock thee, which art infamous Of a most infamous name; and much vexed Afflicted, empoverished, and ruined: or rather, who art full of tumult and trouble, as more properly signifies: that is, in which there are continually confusion and disorder, by the commission of acts of violence.<\/p>\n 22:2 Now, thou son of man, wilt thou {a} judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations.<\/p>\n (a) Are you ready to execute your charge, which I commit to you against Jerusalem that murders the prophets and them that are godly?<\/p>\n Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations. 2. wilt thou judge ] See on ch.
