Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 28:18

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities , by the iniquity of thy traffick : therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

Thou who shouldest have kept all pure in Religion, as thou art King, pretending to Divinity, hast polluted it.

Still there is, as all along from the 14th verse I think there hath been, much of an Irony deriding this proud Prince, an allusion to his pretended Godship. A God hath his Sanctuaries, and thou thine, but they nasty polluted ones.

By the greatness, as as well as number.

Impieties, Irreligion, and Atheism of thy Merchants, as well as by their injustice, falsehood, and oppressions, by their perjuries, breaking Covenants confirmed in the Temples at the Altars, or in the name of their Gods, when thy Trade thrived by these, thou, and they have thought there was nothing Sacred, nor any God above thee.

Some civil dissension or occasion of thy injustice shall, like a fire, rise.

Among thy injured malecontents.

Which, like fire in the house, shall burn all up, and waste all, thou shalt never quench it; thy discontented Subjects applying themselves to Nebuchadnezzar with addresses for his Favour, Power, and Royal Justice to relieve them, and to right his own Subjects opprest by Tyre in their Trade, shall enkindle Nebuchadnezzar's rage, and he shall never be appeased, but in thy ruine.

Thou shalt be burnt to Ashes, these cast on the Earth to be scattered abroad, and trampled under feet.

All this done, that all about thee may see, fear; and reverence the Justice, Power, and Holiness of the God of Heaven, who ruleth among men, and knows how to abase proud Atheists.
