Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - As for the beauty of his ornament. The latter word is commonly used of the necklaces, armlets, etc., of women (Exodus 33:4-6; Isaiah 49:18; Jeremiah 2:32; Jeremiah 4:30). So again in Ezekiel 16:7, 11; Ezekiel 23:40. The singular is used of the people collectively, or of each man individually, like German man or French on. He set it in majesty; better, he - or to give the sense they - turned it to pride. Wealth and art had ministered, as in Isaiah 2:16, first to mere pride and pomp; then they made out of their ornaments the idols which they worshipped, and which were now, the same emphatic word being repeated, as a pollution to them.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) In majesty.--Rather, for pride. That which had been given them "for the beauty of ornament," viz., their silver and gold (Ezekiel 7:19), they had perverted to purposes of pride. Nay, further, they had even made their idols of it; therefore God "set it far from them." The same strong word is used here as in Ezekiel 7:19 = made it filth unto them. The singular and plural pronouns, "he," "his," "they," "their," "them," all alike refer to the people.
