Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum [is] therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
Ver. 6. Woe to the bloody city,] i.e., Blood guilty, and full of crimes capital that call for blood.
To the pot whose scum is in it.] Who are hardened in their wickedness, which is evident to all men, and are not amended by punishments.
Let no lot fall upon it,] i.e., Let none escape unpunished. In wars often they cast lots to save some and slay some.
