Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 22:15

15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen , and disperse thee in the countreys , and will consume thy filthiness out of thee .

As the wind scatters Cha[illegible: 1 letter]t.

Worst of the Babylonish Vassals.

Doubled for certainty of the thing.

Some take it for a threat by a fire, that shall consume the filthy Sinners, the filthy sins will cease, or else, that by removing them out of Ierusalem into Captivity, and reducing them to a very low condition they should not any more commit, but for ever loath their wickedness; some take it for a promise of purging mercy to better them, i. e. the remnant of them when the rest are destroyed, and wasted.
