John Trapp on Ezekiel 24:21

Ver. 21. Behold I will profane my Sanctuary] I will put it into the hands of profane perſons to be ſpoiled and polluted, for a puniſhment of your manifold pollutions of it.

The excellency of your ſtrength] The Jewes had too high a conceit of, and did put too much confidence in their Temple, which therefore they called as here the excellency of their ſtrength, the deſire of their eyes, and that which their ſoul pittied, animarum indulgentiam. The Temple of the Lord they cryed, but the Lord of the Temple they cared not for, Jer. 7.
