3Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual heaps of ruins: the enemy hath ill-used every thing in the sanctuary.
4Thy adversaries have roared in the midst of thy places of assembly: they have set up their signs for signs.
5The enemy is known as one that lifteth up high axes against the thickets of a forest.
6And now they hew in pieces the carved work thereof altogether with hatchets and hammers.
7They have set on fire thy sanctuary; to the ground have they profaned the dwelling-place of thy name.
