Why is this due to you?
Radak: It is due to your many sins. He will not be partial (overlook them) due to His honor and house, like you said.
Malbim: You think that Tziyon will be built ? just the contrary, due to you, "Tziyon Sadeh Secharesh"!
What is the meaning of "Tziyon Sadeh Secharesh"?
Radak: It will be like a plowed field. No building will remain. This is because it was built with Damim!
What are "Iyin"?
Rashi: Degorim. (This is the Targum of piles or mounds ? Shemos 8:10.) Radak ? it will be piles of rocks. The enemy will destroy [the buildings]. They will put rock on rock to make piles. This is like "Samu Es Yerushalayim l'Iyim" (Tehilim 79:1). Targum Yonasan (l'Yagrin) is like the Targum of "v'Haysah Vavel l'Galim" (Yirmeyah 51:37) and "l'Iy ha'Sadeh" (above, 1:6). The Nun is like a Mem; the same applies to "l'Ketz ha'Yamin" (Daniel 12:13) and similar verses.
How will Har ha'Bayis be like Bamos Ya'ar?
Radak: Har ha'Bayis, where the Beis ha'Mikdash is, will be like a forest. Since it will be desolate, grass and trees will grow there. It says Bamos (plural) because two mountains were close together ? Har ha'Bayis and Har ha'Zeisim. Or, the mounds of rocks are called Bamos.
Malbim: What is more Kadosh will be more desolate. Tziyon will be plowed to the point that it will be like a field. Yerushalayim will not be plowed, just it will be mounds due to fallen houses. Har ha'Bayis, where the Mikdash was and the Mizbe'ach, and the western wall remains, will be high places in the forest. Man does not go there, only foxes and wild animals.
