3. Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
4. Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5. They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
6. And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
7. They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.
8. They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9. We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
