.. swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
These are the words of the Lord against the nations—Tyre, Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine; the Gentiles. Notice God’s word against them:
Swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense.
The Gentile people, heathens, are not necessarily against God. The problem is that they think they are equal to God. They believe they can choose, as Cain did, to give God what they please. But God will not accept gifts, offerings, and worship except that which He has prescribed.
Ye have taken My silver and My gold.
The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. The heathen, lost man has no more claim on the treasures of this world than does the Christian. It is not just the believer who robs God when we refuse to tithe. The lost person is as guilty and will be held as responsible for robbing God.
Into your temples.
All the earth belongs to God, but He does not claim every form of religious edifice. It’s not okay to worship God any way you please so long as you are sincere. While every man has a right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, he’s going to be held accountable if he hasn’t done so according to God’s Word.
