3. Lift your steps to the perpetual ruins, to all that the enemy has ruined in the sanctuary.
4. Your enemies have roared in the midst of your meeting place; they have set up their signs for signs.
5. They are known to be like those who wield axes in a thicket of trees.
6. And now its carved works altogether they have smashed with axe and hammer.
7. They have set fire to your sanctuary. They have defiled to the ground, the dwelling place for your name.
8. They have said in their heart, “We will completely oppress them.” They burned all the meeting places of God in the land.
