Is it time for you, &c.— Is the time come for you to inhabit your ceiled houses, while that house lieth desolate? This is in answer to Haggai 1:2. "You complain of the times; yet they have not been so difficult but you have found means and opportunity to build fine houses for yourselves, though you are content to let the house of the Most High continue in ruins." See Houbigant and Calmet.
