Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
Wilt thou judge them, son of man? wilt thou judge them? The emphatic 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 abominations of their fathers, of which their own are the complement and counterpart, and which call for judgment.
