John Trapp on Ezra 7:23

Verſe 23. For why ſhould there be wrath] Heb. Boyling or foaming anger, great indignation, as it is rendered, and made the utmoſt degree of the divine diſpleaſure, Deut. 29.28. Of all things God cannot endure to be ſlighted, and to have his ſervice neglected: this, blinde nature ſaw, and was therefore ſedulous herein to prevent wrath. Ariſtotle hath this divine precept, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Make Religion thy firſt and chief care, Ariſt. polit. l. 7. c. 8. that thou mayeſt proſper, &c. Let our worſhip-ſcorners look to it: do they provoke the Lord to wrath? are they ſtronger then He? will they bring Gods vengeance upon us all?

Againſt the Realme, the King and his ſonnes] For God is higher then the higheſt, and will raine downe indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguiſh upon every ſoul of man that doth evil, or that neglecteth to do good: for not-ſerving of God,Rom. 2.8, 9. not-ſacrificing is a ſin, Mal. 3.18. Eccleſ. 9.2. And ſin doth as naturally draw and ſuck judgements to it, both perſonal and publike, as the loadſtone doth iron, or Turpentine fire.
