Ezekiel 22:5 [Those that be] near, and [those that be] far from thee, shall mock thee, [which art] infamous [and] much vexed.
Ver. 5. Shall mock thee, which are infamous.] This was forethreatened. Deu 28:37 Our natures are most impatient of reproach; for there is none so mean but thinks himself worthy of some regard. Gens haec, saith Giraldus Cambrensis of the wild Irish, sicut et natio quaevis barbara, &c.; No nation is so barbarous, but that although they know not what belongeth to honour, yet do they exceedingly affect to be honoured, and will not abide to be reproached.
