This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Some would have the prophet here to be questioned, whether he would, and why he would, plead for such a city. 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.
The bloody city; Jerusalem, which is guilty of the murders of innocent ones, of prophets and holy men.
Show her; 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.
All her abominations; all the kinds, not all individual acts of them.
