Joel3:5
5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold , and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things .
You Tyrians, Zidonians, and Philistines have received at the hands of those you confederated with, you have taken them either as part of the spoil, or as part of your pay.
Silver and Gold Vessels dedicated to my Service in the Temple, and about the Altar.
And in contempt of me with proud insulting have presented them in your Temples to your Idols, as if they were mightier and more glorious than I; so did the Philistins carry the Ark into Dagons Temple, but it cost Dagon his head, 1 Sam. 5.4. and Nebuchadnezzar carried away the sacred Vessels when he spoiled the Temple.
God speaks of these after the manner of man, and so accounteth of these things.
Marginal references: Heb, desirable.
