John Trapp Complete Commentary

Ezekiel 7:22

My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret [place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.

Ver. 22. My face will I turn also from them.] From the Chaldees, that they may spoil at pleasure; or from the Israelites, that they may perish without help.

And they shall pollute my secret place.] Even the Holy of holies, whereinto none was to enter but the high priest once a year; yet, besides these Babylonian burglars, Heliodorus and Pompey did; but the one fell mad, and the other never prospered after it.

For the robbers shall enter into it.] Effractores; by this name, breach makers, the Jews at this day term our nobles and grandees.
