Proverbs 15:25 warns that \u201cYahweh will tear down the house of the proud\u201d and promises \u201cHe will establish the boundary of the widow.\u201d Though this proverb does apply to any proud man\u2019s house and posterity, it has, coming from the pen of Solomon the temple-builder, specific reference to the Lord\u2019s house in Jerusalem. When Israel turns the house into a den of brigands and it becomes a house of the arrogant, the Lord tears it down and sends the pieces into exile. <\/p>\n

In Luke 21, Jesus\u2019 condemnation of the temple immediately follows the story of the widow\u2019s mite \u2013 Yahweh is tearing down the house of the proud, those who oppress widows and orphans, and establishing the widow\u2019s house. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
