King James Translators' Notes

Wilt...: or, Wilt thou plead for them

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

4. Wilt thou judge? . judge-The emphatical repetition expresses, "Wilt thou not judge? yes, judge them. There is a loud call for immediate judgment." The Hebrew interrogative here is a command, not a prohibition [Maurer]. Instead of spending time in teaching them, tell them of the abomination of their fathers, of which their own are the complement and counterpart, and which call for judgment.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

20:1-9. Those hearts are wretchedly hardened which ask God leave to go on in sin, and that even when suffering for it; see ver.


Ezekiel 16:2 "Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations
