2Remember your congregation which you have purchased from the beginning; you did ransom the rod of your inheritance; this mount Sion wherein you have lived.
3Lift up your hands against their pride continually; because of all that the enemy has done wickedly in your holy places.
4And they that hate you have boasted in the midst of your 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.
7They have burnt your sanctuary with fire to the ground; they have profaned the habitation of your name.
