Ezekiel22:12
Ver. 12. Thou hast taken uſury and increaſe] Ʋſura quaſi propter uſum rei, ſaith One, and faenus quaſi funus. Such mony to neceſſity, is like cold water to a hot ague, that for a time refreſheth, but prolongeth the diſeaſe. It is like the Timber-worm, which is wonderful ſoft to touch, but hath teeth ſo hard that it eateth the timber: See on chap. 18.13.
And haſt greedily gained of thy neighbour] Sept. Thou haſt conſummated the conſummation of thy wickedneſſe in oppreſſion.
And haſt forgotten me] All the forementioned evils are reſolved into this as the root and original of them: See the like, Rom. 3.18.Dei oblivio convehit omnem vitiorum catervam. Hieron.
