John Trapp on Ezra 5:12

Verſe 12. But after that our fathers had provoked] Sinne is the make-bate that ſets heaven and earth at oddes, and hurleth confuſion over the whole creation, Eſay 59.2. Num. 11.31. there were more remarkable expreſſions of Gods anger upon mans ſinne in the dead body of a man, then of a beaſt: One made uncleane but till the evening; the other for ſeven dayes.

He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar] This is ſtill the property of ſinne unpardoned, to raiſe the Poſſe comitatus, all the armies of God againſt the ſinner.
