Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city?.... 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:
yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations; 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.
y את עיר דמים "civitatem sanguinum", V. L. Munster, Montanus.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 22:2. Wilt thou judge the bloody city — Pronounce the sentence of death against the murderers.
Show her all her abominations. — And a most revolting and dreadful catalogue of these is in consequence exhibited.
