Ezekiel24:21
21. excellency of your strength--(compare Am 6:8). The object of your pride and confidence (Jr 7:4, 10, 14).
desire of ... eyes--(Psa 27:4). The antitype to Ezekiel's wife (Eze 24:16).
pitieth--loveth, as pity is akin to love: "yearned over."
Profane--an appropriate word. They had profaned the temple with idolatry; God, in just retribution, will profane it with the Chaldean sword, that is, lay it in the dust, as Ezekiel's wife.
sons ... daughters ... left--the children left behind in Judea, when the parents were carried away.
