7:21 And I will give it into the hands of the {q} strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
(q) That is, of the Babylonians.
7:21 It - My temple.
7:16-22 Sooner or later, sin will cause sorrow; and those who will not repent of their sin, may justly be left to pine away in it. There are many whose wealth is their snare and ruin; and the gaining the world is the losing of their souls. Riches profit not in the day of wrath. The wealth of this world has not that in it which will answer the desires of the soul, or be any satisfaction to it in a day of distress. God's temple shall stand them in no stead. Those are unworthy to be honoured with the form of godliness, who will not be governed by its power.
