I will bring: Ezekiel 21:31, Ezekiel 28:7, Psalms 106:41, Jeremiah 4:7, Jeremiah 12:12, Habakkuk 1:6-10
they shall: That is, "the Chaldeans shall possess the houses of the Jews." The antecedents of pronouns are thus frequently understood in Hebrew poetry. Jeremiah 6:12, Lamentations 5:2
I will also: Ezekiel 33:28, Isaiah 5:14
the pomp: That is, the magnificence of their greatest and haughtiest princes.
their holy places shall be defiled: or, they shall inherit their holy places, Ezekiel 21:2, 2 Chronicles 7:19, Psalms 83:12
Reciprocal: Genesis 47:26 - except Leviticus 26:19 - will break Lamentations 1:17 - commanded Lamentations 2:7 - given up Ezekiel 22:16 - take thine inheritance in thyself Daniel 4:17 - the basest Matthew 24:6 - ye shall hear Acts 25:23 - with
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore I will bring the worst of the Heathen,.... The Chaldeans, notorious for their cruelty, savageness, and barbarity:
and they shall possess their houses; which they have built, and thought to have lived and died in, and left them to their children for an inheritance; but the Chaldeans, and not their children, became their heirs, and inherited their houses and lands:
I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; or, "the pride of the mighty ones" n; the noble and the rich; their wealth and substance, by which their pride and grandeur were supported, being takes away from them:
and their holy places shall be defiled; the temple, in which were the holy place, and the holy of holies: or, "they that sanctify them"; the priests that offered sacrifices, which only sanctified to the purifying of the flesh; even these holy persons and things, as well as holy places, would be defiled.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The worst of the pagan - The most cruel and terrible of nations - the Chaldaeans.
The pomp of the strong - Compare Leviticus 26:19 “The strong” are those who pride themselves in imaginary strength.
Their holy places - What elsewhere is called “God’s Holy place” is here “their holy places,” because God disowns the profaned sanctuary. In the marginal rendering “they” must mean “the worst of the pagan.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 7:24. The worst of the heathen — The Chaldeans; the most cruel and idolatrous of all nations.
