Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - For who shall have pity? or, for who can have pity, etc.? (the imperfect in its potential sense). The horror which will seize upon the spectators will effectually preclude pity. Who shall go aside? As one turns aside to call at a house. So Genesis 19:2 (literally, turn aside, not "turn in").

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) To ask how thou doest?--This is a fair paraphrase of the original, but it wants the Oriental colouring of the more literal to ask after thy peace. As "Peace be with thee" was the usual formula of salutation, sc.," Is it peace?" was the equivalent for our more prosaic question, "How do you do?" (Genesis 43:27; Judges 18:15). The same phrase meets us in Exodus 18:7, "They asked each other of their welfare," literally, of their peace.
