V. 4.— For every house is builded by some man: but he that built all things is God.
Every house is builded by some man; it owes its existence to the skill of the architect; while God is the great architect of the universe, and the greater the glory of creation the greater the glory of the Creator. Perhaps there is here a reference to chap. 1:8, and 10:12, in order to establish more fully the glory of the Son of God, as being the Creator and Proprietor of the house over which He presided. This is confirmed by Psalms 115:5-6. He is the great Shepherd, who feeds and nourishes His sheep.
