This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
As I live; a form of an oath becoming none but the living God, used often in Scripture and in this prophet.
Defiled; violated and profaned.
My sanctuary; my temple.
With all thy detestable things; not that all they did abominably was done in the temple; but either because they never heeded how they were polluted, but with legal pollutions on them came to the temple; or rather, brought in their idols, all their detestable counterfeit gods, as Jer_7:30, and, in 2Ki_16:10 23:12,13, their own altars, as Ahaz and Manasseh. All their idolatry and wickednesses, expressed by two words of like emphasis.
Diminish; lessen, break to pieces, cut up by the roots such stinking weeds.
Neither shall mine eye spare; there shall not be the least sign of pity in my eye, though I see all their misery.
Neither will I have pity; nor yet will I retain any affection of kindness for them; my heart, as my eye, shall be far from all pity and commiseration towards them.
