This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thy great wisdom: here the eminent degree of this prince’s wisdom is owned.

Thy riches; thy power, as Eze_28:4.
Is lifted up; exalts itself, carrieth it loftily and proudly above thy neighbours, which is not good; above thyself, which is worse; and above God too, which is worst of all, as Eze_28:2.
Thy riches; thy puissance at home and abroad, by nature and art.
