2Remember thy congregation which thou hast purchased from the beginning; Thou didst ransom the rod of thine inheritance; This Mount Zion wherein thou hast dwelt.
3Lift up thy hands against their pride continually; Because of all that the enemy has done wickedly in thy holy places.
4And they that hate thee have boasted in the midst of thy feast; They have set up their standards for signs,
5Ignorantly as it were in the entrance above;
6They cut down its doors at once with axes as in a wood of trees; They have broken it down with hatchet and stone cutter.
