Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
Ye have multiplied your slain - those on whom you have brought ruin by your wicked counsels. Bloody crimes within the city brought on it a bloody foe from without (Ezekiel 7:23-24). They had made it a caldron in which to boil the flesh of God's people, and eat it by unrighteous oppression (Micah 3:1-3); therefore God will make it a caldron in a different sense-one not wherein they may be safe in their guilt, but "out of the midst of" which they shall be "brought forth," See, for the fulfillment of the prophecy, Jeremiah 39:4-5.
