John Trapp on Ezekiel 22:5

Ver. 5. Shall mock thee which art infamous] This was forethreatened, Deut. 28.37. Our natures are moſt impatient of reproach: for there is none ſo mean, but thinks himſelf worth of ſome regard. Gens haec (ſaith Giraldus Cambrenſis of the wild Iriſh) ſicut & natio quaevis barbara, &c. no Nation is ſo barbarous but that although they know not what belongeth to honour, yet do they exceedingly affect to be honoured, and well not abide to be reproached.
