This house (temple) will become a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by will be appalled and sneer and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this house?’

As for the beauty of [gold for] ornaments, they turned it to pride and from it made the images of their repulsive things (idols) and of their vile things. Therefore I will make it an unclean thing to them.

Great is our god

“Who is like You among the gods, O Lord?
Who is like You, majestic in holiness,
Awesome in splendor, working wonders?

For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
He is also to be feared [with awe-filled reverence] above all gods.

There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord,
Nor are there any works [of wonder and majesty] like Yours.

For I know that the Lord is great
And that our Lord is above all gods.

Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,
And His greatness is [so vast and profound as to be] unsearchable [incomprehensible to man].

There is none like You, O Lord;
You are great, and great is Your mighty and powerful name.

which He will bring about in His own time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign [the absolute Ruler], the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords,
