7

The Lord has cast off his altar. He has abhorred his sanctuary. He has given the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a noise in the LORD’s house, as in the day of a solemn assembly.

EXPLANATION

Verse 7. Cursed, or suffered it to be polluted, ( Worthington.) as he looked on it with horror, after it had been profaned by Achaz, and so forth—Towers. Septuagint “palaces;” βαρεων.—Feast. What a contrast! The temple used to resound with songs of praise and music: the Chaldees fill it with insolent shouts of victory.
