John Trapp on Ezekiel 19:5

Ver. 5. Now when ſhe ſaw that ſhe had waited, and her hope was loſt] She looked for Jehoahaz his return out of Egypt, as Siſera's mother did for his ſafe and victorious return from the battle; but all in vain. The hope of the Hypocrite ſhall periſh.

Then ſhe took another of her whelps] A brat of the ſame breed, and of no better condition, Judea changed her Lords oft, but not her miſeries: ſo did Rome in the times betwixt Auguſtus and Conſtantine the Great: the names of thoſe few of them that were good, might be written within the compaſſe of a ſignet, as One ſaid. Scarce any of them dyed a natural death, unleſſe it were Veſpatian, Tack. qui ſolus Imperatorum mutatus in melius, who alſo was the only Emperour that became better by his preferment.
