8 Richly paneled houses. Paneling is otherwise known in the OT only in connection with the temple (1 Kgs 6:9) and the royal palace (2 Kgs 7:3, 7). It implies decoration and luxury (cf. “fancy houses”; “well-built houses”; “luxurious houses”). The impropriety of the people living in such lavish accommodations while the temple lay unfinished is striking.
9 Heb “Is it time for you, [yes] you, to live in paneled houses, while this house is in ruins”; “lies desolate”; “remains a ruin.”
