I Kings 9:8

And this house shall be made an example of: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss, and say: *Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

Deuteronomy 29:24.; Jeremias 22:8.

Example. Hebrew, "at this house, on high," (or dedicated "to the most high;" Paralipomenon) "every," etc. (Haydock) --- It shall be treated with no more regard than the high places of idols. (Calmet) --- Though at present so much exalted, it shall be reduced to a heap of ruins, (Vatable) and destroyed. (Challoner)
