In the same day; not to be taken for a single day, but more largely for that time wherein God would visit and punish. That leap on the threshold; insolently, and with rage, break open the doors of such whose goods they seize, upon pretence of forfeitures or fines; a sin that Ezekiel both taxed and threatened, Ezekiel 8:17, Ezekiel 12:19 45:9. Their masters; either the oppressing kings, whose officers these were, or public officers and judges, whose servants thus did (to enrich their masters) spoil the poor and the oppressed. With violence; goods taken away by force, and kept as much against right, as at first taken away without right; and deceit, by false accusations, and by suborned evidence for proof, and by perjuries.
