cut off - literally, “cleared away.”
as on this side ... as on that side - both sides of the roll [Vatablus]. From this place ... from this place (repeated twice, as “the house” is repeated in Zec 5:4) [Maurer]; so “hence” is used, Gen 37:17 (or, “on this and on that side,” that is, on every side) [Henderson]. None can escape, sin where he may: for God from one side to the other shall call all without exception to judgment [Calvin]. God will not spare even “this place,” Jerusalem, when it sins [Pembellus]. English Version seems to take Vatablus’ view.
according to it - according as it is written.
