What is the meaning of "k'Hakir"?

1.

Rashi: This is based on Makor (source, i.e. of a spring). Malbim - the evil that will come on Yerushalayim is not external. Rather, it is from her sins. This is like a well whose water comes from a spring. The water was not merely poured in from elsewhere!

2)

What is "Bir"?

1.

Rashi: It is a Be'er (well).

3)

What is the meaning of "Hekerah Ra'asah"?

1.

Rashi: Their evil flows; it always increases and is renewed. Malbim - Hekerah refers to also to Chali u'Makah (the sin is the source of the afflictions).

4)

Why does it say "Chamas va'Shod Yishama Bah

1.

Radak: They make the poor sick and strike them - "u'Fnei Aniyim Titchanu" (Yeshayah 3:15).

2.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: The punishment for the extortion and robbery is evil and afflictions. Malbim - Chazal said (Brachos 33a), the Arod (a crossbreed of serpent and lizard) does not kill; rather, sin kills!"

5)

Why does it say "Al Panai Tamid"?

1.

Radak: Just like a well, its water flows constantly, so is their evil. Just like I see and supervise forever, unlike they say "Ein Hashem Ro'eh Osanu" (Yechezkel 8:12).

2.

Malbim: Even though My Shechinah is in the city, extortion and robbery and heard constantly.

6)

What is "Chali u'Makah "?

1.

Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: Evil and afflictions.
