Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 22:12

12 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood, thou hast taken usury, and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

Judges who should have saved, have sold the Life of Innocents, who sate on God's Tribunal, have acted the Devil there, and murthered Innocents contrary to Exod. 23.8.

Vid chap. 18. ver. 8. let. x, y, z, a.

With unsatiable thirst of gain torn to pieces, and devoured thy Neighbour, so hast thou been an oppressing extortioner, where thou shouldest not have been a moderate usurer, and thus forgottest thy God.
