glory--that is, the trees which adorned Lebanon; emblem of men eminent in natural gifts, devoting all that is in them to the God of Israel (Hosea 14:5-6).
fir . . . pine . . . box--rather, "the cypress . . . ilex . . . cedar."
place of my sanctuary--Jerusalem (Jeremiah 3:17).
place of my feet--no longer the ark (Jeremiah 3:16), "the footstool" of Jehovah (Psalms 99:5; Psalms 132:7; 1 Chronicles 28:2); but "the place of His throne, the place of the soles of His feet, where He will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever," in the new temple (Ezekiel 43:7).
