John Trapp on Ezekiel 31:14

Ver. 14. To the end tha[illegible: 1 letter] none of all the trees] This is the uſe men ſhould make of Gods heavy judgements upon others. This mans father Sennacherib had a ſtatue ſet up in Egypt, ſaith Herodotus, with this inſcription: Lib. 2. Let him that looketh upon my miſery learn to be modeſt and to fear God.

Neither their trees ſtand up in their height] Neque ſtent in ſeipſis, neither ſtand in themſelves, becauſe of their height. Magna repente ruunt. In te stas & non ſtas, ſaid the Oracle to Auſtin: thou ſtandeſt on thine own bottom; thou wilt ſurely down.

For they are all delivered unto death] Without difference, pell-mell, lords and loſels together, as the Poet alſo ſingeth; Sub tua purpurei veniunt veſtigia reges, Depoſito luxu, turba cum paupere mixti;Claudian. Omnia mors aequat.—
