For the sins of her prophets - the false prophets (Jeremiah 23:11; Jeremiah 23:21). Supply the sense thus: 'For the sins of her prophets, etc., these calamities have befallen her.'

Have shed the blood of the just - (Matthew 23:31; Matthew 23:37). This received its full fulfillment in the slaying of Messiah the Just One, and the Jews' consequent dispersion (James 5:6).
