The worst; the most violent, proud, and bloody men; such the Chaldeans showed themselves. Possess; not only dwell in their houses, but by right of conquest account them their own, and descending to theirs after them. The pomp; the excellency, magnificence, and glory, whatever they boasted of; either literally, the pride, or figuratively, the temple that the Jews gloried in. Of the strong; of the Jews, who thought Jerusalem too well fortified by art and nature, and the Divine presence, it being the city of God, ever to be overthrown. Their holy places; all that pertains to their religion, and exercise of it, persons. places, things, which now by their abuse of them are theirs, not mine, shall be polluted.
