Son of man, will you judge? Will you judge the city of blood?

AT: "Son of man, go and judge. Go and judge the city of blood." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

city of blood

Yahweh refers to Jerusalem as the city of blood. This refers to the murders and violence that happen in Jerusalem. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

her...herself

The word “her” refers to Jerusalem. Cities were often thought of as a woman. This continues through verse 32. (See rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification).
