This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The beauty of his ornament; their riches, the ornament of a nation, their silver, gold, &c. Or rather the temple and ark, and all that pertained to it, which was the beauty and glory of that nation, and they accounted it so.
He set it in majesty; God commanded it should be stately, beautiful, and rich; very magnificent, said Solomon, great, 2Ch_2:5, and God gave the riches with which it was built, 1Ch_29:11-16.
They made the images; either set up their idols which God so much abhorred in his temple, and provoked him with spiritual adulteries to his face, as if a wife should commit adultery before the eye of her husband; or, made their idols, those abominable images, those detestable things, of the silver and gold which I adorned them with.
I have set it far from them; I have parted between them; sent them from the temple, and their gold and silver from them.
