3:1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing {a} city!
(a) That is, Jerusalem.
3:1 To her - Jerusalem.
3:1-7 The holy God hates sin most in those nearest to him. A sinful state is, and will be, a woful state. Yet they had the tokens of God's presence, and all the advantages of knowing his will, with the strongest reasons to do it; still they persisted in disobedience. Alas, that men often are more active in doing wickedness than believers are in doing good.
