Ezekiel 28:16

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence - i:e., they have filled the midst of the city with violence; the king, as the head of the state, being involved in the guilt of the state, which he did not check, but fostered.

I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God - no longer treated as sacred, but driven out of the place of sanctity (see ) which thou hast occupied (cf. ).
