2 Chronicles 7:21

Context
7:21 As for this temple, which was once majestic, 1  everyone who passes by it will be shocked and say, ‘Why did the Lord do this to this land and this temple?’

1 tn Heb “and this house which was high/elevated.” The statement makes little sense in this context, which predicts the desolation that judgment will bring. Some treat the clause as concessive, “Even though this temple is lofty [now].” Others, following the lead of several ancient versions, emend the text to, “this temple will become a heap of ruins.”
