Haydock's commentary
Judgest them; or, if thou wilt enter into the cause, and plead against them. (Challoner)
Lay before them the iniquities of their fathers, and their own, which bring on the reprobation of the greatest part. God will form his Church out of a few of them and of the Gentiles. The return of a small number from captivity is also insinuated.
