SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:8
y esta Casa que estaba en estima, cualquiera que pasare por ella se pasmará, y silbará, y dirá: ¿Por qué ha hecho así el SEÑOR a esta tierra, y a esta Casa?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And at this house which is high , etc.] The house of the most High, as some render it, and in high esteem, fame, and glory, as well as it was built on an high hill, and was itself one hundred and twenty cubits high, ( 2 Chronicles 3:4), the Targum is, “and this house which was high shall be destroyed:” everyone that passeth by it shall be astonished ; at the ruins of the temple, and of the city of Jerusalem, which had been so magnificent: and shall hiss ; in scorn and derision of the people of Israel, rejoicing in their ruin: and they shall say, why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and to this house ? or suffered it to be done, to lie thus in waste and ruins; a land in which it had been said he delighted, and looked unto from one end of the year to the other, and a house he had taken up his dwelling in; surely something more than ordinary, they suggest, must be the cause of all this.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - God warned Solomon, now he had newly built and dedicated the temple that he and his people might not be high-minded, but fear. After all the services we can perform, we stand upon the same terms with the Lor as before. Nothing can purchase for us liberty to sin, nor would the true believer desire such a licence. He would rather be chastened of the Lord, than be allowed to go on with ease and prosperity in sin.
