Contextual Overview

¹ O Lorde wherfore dost thou forsake vs altogether? wherfore breaketh foorth thy anger agaynst the sheepe of thy pasture. ² Remember thy congregation, thou hast possest it nowe a long tyme: thou hast redeemed the rodde of thine inheritaunce, euen mount Sion wherein thou dwellest. ³ Lyft vp thy feete for to destroy vtterly euery enemie: which hath done euyll in thy sanctuarie. ⁴ Thyne aduersaries roare in the myddest of thy congregations: and set vp their banners for signes [of victorie.] ⁵ He that hewed tymber afore out of thicke woddes [for to builde the temple:] was esteemed as one offeryng a present [to God] aboue. ⁶ But nowe they breake downe into peeces all the carued worke therof: with axes and hammers. ⁷ They haue set fire on thy holy places: they haue defiled the dwellyng place of thy name [castyng it downe] to the groud. ⁸ Yea, they sayde in their heartes, let vs make hauocke of them altogether: thus haue they burnt vp all the houses of God in the lande. ⁹ We see not our ensignes, there is not one prophete more: no not one is there amongst vs that vnderstandeth our case. ¹⁰ O Lorde shall the aduersarie do this dishonour continually? shall the enemie blaspheme thy name for euer?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. Formerly it was an honour to be employed in cutting down a tree for the building of the temple; but now so little regard was paid to it, that all its fine carved work, which Solomon made, 1 Kings 6:18, was demolished at once in a rude and furious manner with axes and hammers; which was done either by the Chaldeans in Nebuchadnezzar's time, or by the Syrians in the times of Antiochus, or by the Romans in the times of Vespasian; the first seems intended; see

Jeremiah 46:22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But now they break down the carved work thereof ... - literally, “But now the carvings of it together, at once, with sledge and hammers they beat down.” The carved work refers evidently to the ornaments of the temple. The word used here - פתוח pittûach - is rendered engraving, carved work, or carving; Exodus 28:11, Exodus 28:21, Exodus 28:36; Exodus 39:6, Exodus 39:14, Exodus 39:30; Zechariah 3:9; 2 Chronicles 2:14. It is the very word which in 1 Kings 6:29 is applied to the ornaments around the walls of the temple - the “carved figures of cherubim, and palm trees, and open flowers,” and there can be no doubt that the allusion here is to those ornaments. These were rudely cut down, or knocked off, with axes and hammers, as a man lays low the trees of the wood. The phrase “at once” means that they drove forward the work with all despatch. They spared none of them. They treated them all alike as an axeman does the trees of a forest when his object is to clear the land.
