4. Your enemies roar in the midst of your congregations; they set up their banners for signs.
5. A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6. But now they break down its carved work at once with axes and hammers.
7. They have cast fire into your sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of your name to the ground.
8. They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land.
9. We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knows how long.
