Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - The silver is mine. All the riches of the world are the Lord's, and he disposes of them as he wills; if he has promised that the Gentiles shall offer their treasures for his service, be sure he will perform his word. There may also be intended a word of comfort for the desponding; they need not grieve because they had but poor offerings to bring to the house; he wanted not gold or silver, for all was his.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Silver . . . gold.--It is unnatural to suppose that this is said in the sense of Ps. 1:10, as implying "I have no need of silver or gold." Clearly what is meant is that the treasures of earth are at God's disposal, and that He will incite the Gentiles to offer their silver and gold in His Temple. A rigid application of this prediction is impossible. (See Introduction, ? 2.)
