EZEKIEL 28:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.”
By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore I brought out a fire from your midst; it has consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who see you, specifying that iniquity and unrighteous commerce profaned sacred space, triggering divine fire that consumes the king. The fire emerging 'from within' suggests that divine judgment originates in the moral corruption that corrupts the sanctuary. The transformation to ashes indicates complete destruction, while the public witnessing emphasizes humiliation.
