“Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?”
'Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?—the rhetorical question acknowledges that the rebuilt temple will not match Solomon's structure in magnificence. The phrase 'as nothing in your eyes' suggests that the rebuilt sanctuary might appear disappointing compared to memories of former grandeur. The acknowledged disparity sets up the divine response asserting new glory.
