John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 23:36

"Jehovah said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations." — Ezekiel 23:36 (ASV)

The Lord said moreover to me, son of man, will you judge Aholah and Aholibah ? &c.] Plead the cause of Israel and Judah? say anything in their defence, and in excuse of them? or intercede and pray for them, that threatened judgments may not come upon them? no, do nothing of this kind; if you will do anything, do as follows: yes, declare to them their abominations ; their abominable sins, their murders, adulteries, and idolatries; set them in a true light before them, in all their aggravated circumstances; that, if it can be, they may be brought to a true sight and sense of them, to repent of them, be ashamed of them, loath them, confess them, and forsake them.
