Instructed by the Spirit, the prophet read the hearts of those who sat before him. He was probably not striking at open idolatry among the captives, but rather at the sinful condition and alienation of their hearts.
Stumblingblock. mikshol, “a means [or occasion] of stumbling,” “an obstacle.” Here, the occasion that leads to iniquity.
At all. In the Hebrew the emphatic iteration of the verb makes the question imply a strongly negative answer.
