From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And I will take away his blood out of his mouth -The “abominations” being idol-sacrifices , the “bloods” will also be, the blood mingled with the wine of sacrifices, of which David says, “Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer”Psalms 16:4; and Ezekiel unites the offences, “Ye eat With the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood”Ezekiel 33:25.
