“And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the Lord.”
The promise to strike the winter house with the summer house and the houses adorned with ivory shall perish indicates the destruction of the luxury residences of the wealthy elite. The specific reference to ivory-adorned houses indicates archaeologically known evidence of Israelite wealth. This verse promises the destruction of Israel's architectural grandeur.
