Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 32:7

7 And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.

As a Torch is extinguisht, Isa. 43.17. so I will put out thy light, and turn thee into darkness.

Either by dark Vapours that arise from Blood, and putrifying Carcasses, which darken the Heavens, or 'tis a Description of great sorrows, fears, troubles, and perplexities; or else it may intimate particularly the total ruine of the whole Kingdom, in which the best, greatest, and noblest parts are, as Heaven, suppose the Government, the Sun, the King, the Moon, the Queen, the Stars, the Princes, and Nobles, Bright Lights, the most eminent of the Subjects for Wisdom, and Understanding, and then the Land, the Common People. All shall be covered with Clouds, and darkness of misery first, and sorrow next; or 'tis possible, that some unusual darknesses might be seen in the Heavens, and on the Earth about that time.
