Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 31:18

18 ¶ To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that be slain with the sword. This is Pharaoh, and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

The mightiest, richest, and longest lived Kingdom I have represented, saith God, overthrown, and destroyed; a Kingdom thou canst not pretend to equal, and if not like this, what King or Kingdom art thou like, that thou shouldst be invincible?

Who ere thou art like in height, and power thou shalt be like them in thy s[illegible: 1 letter]ll, and ruine.

As unclean, despised, and loathsome in thy blood, like the slain with the Sword, not to be known, without an upbraiding inscription: This is Pharaoh.
