Ezekiel 28:5

Thy great wisdom: here the eminent degree of this prince's wisdom is owned. And by thy traffic: and might as well be spared, for as it is not in the Hebrew, so it rather obscures than clears the text; let it be read, By thy great wisdom in thy traffic, and it is very plain, and so the French reads it increased; made great or enlarged. Thy riches; thy power, as Ezekiel 28:4. Is lifted up; exalts itself, carrieth it loftily and proudly above thy neighbours, which is not good; above thyself, which is worse; and above God too, which is worst of all, as Ezekiel 28:2. Thy riches; thy puissance at home and abroad, by nature and art.
