Isaiah 64:11 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Our holy and our beautiful house; the temple, Isaiah 60:7: q.d. Not only our cities, and our principal cities, but even our temple, which we thought sacred and inviolable, in which we have gloried, because it was thine, and our fathers, and ours, the place where thy holy service was performed, and thy glory and presence was manifested. Our fathers; not presuming to mention themselves, they had been so every way abominable, but their fathers. All our pleasant things; the king's palace, and the houses of the nobles, and other places of state and magnificence, 2 Kings 25:9 Lamentations 1:7,10; or, their synagogues; or, those stately pieces about the temple.

Isaiah 64:11

11 Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
