Moreover, I will also speak to you concerning the temple, how those wretches, erring, put their hope on the building.
2And not on their God who made them, as if it were the dwelling of God.
3For almost like the pagans they consecrated him in the temple.
4But what does the Lord say in annulling it? Hear!
5Who has measured the heaven with a span, or the earth with his hand? Was it not I?, says the Lord.
6The heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool. What house will you build for me, or what is the place of my rest?
7You know that their hope was vain.
8Moreover, again he says: Behold, those who destroyed this temple shall build it.
