John Trapp on Ezekiel 7:26-27

Ver. 26. Miſchief ſhall come upon miſchief] Aliud ex alio malum. I will heap miſchiefs upon them, Deut. 32.23. War is called evil or miſchief by a ſpecialty, Eſa. 45.7.

And rumour ſhall be upon rumour] ſc. Of Nebuchadnezzars advance, acts and atcheivements.

Then ſhall they ſeek a viſion of the Prophet] As a drowning man catcheth at the ſprig of a tree, which before he ſlighted.

But the Law ſhall periſh from the Prieſt] Not only Prophecy, which is an extraordinary gift, ſhall fail them, but alſo the ordinary preaching of Gods Word, and all good advice and proviſion of humane wiſdom. And yet this fooliſh people were wont to ſooth up themſelves and ſay, The Law ſhall not periſh from the Prieſt, nor wiſdom from the Ancient, Jer. 18.

[non-Latin text not transcribed].Ver. 27. The king ſhall mourn] With a funeral mourning, as the Sept. expreſſe it: with a continued mourning, as the Hebrew importeth.

The Prince ſhall be clothed with deſolation] Opplebitur triſtitiâ ad ſtuporem.

And the hands] Which they had ſo oft lifted up to vanity.

According to their deſertes] See ver. 3, 4, 8, 9.
