Ezekiel12:12
Ver. 12. And the Prince that is among them] Zedekias that profane wicked Prince, chap. 21.25.
Shall bear upon his ſhoulders in the twilight] His precious things; ſee on ver. 6. This though it be not recorded in the holy hiſtory, yet that it was ſo, we are aſſured by this Scripture. Great men, in exigents ſtoop to low offices. This load upon his ſhoulders might hinder his flight, and further his ſurprizal, as it did Baiazets, when he was beaten out of the field by Tamerlan, that he ſtayed to water his horſe. The Vulgar rendereth it (but not well) in humeris portabitur, he ſhall be carried on mens ſhoulders. The Pope indeed is ordinarily ſo carried: but he was glad to foot it when forced by the German and Spaniſh Souldiers. A. D. 1527. he was glad to ſecure himſelf in his caſtle St. Angelo.
They ſhall dig through the wall] The door, haply, or inlet of ſome under-ground paſſage.
He ſhall cover his face] See on ver. 6. This he did haply through fear, or ſhame, or for a diſguiſe: but his ſin found him out.
