3 Hurry and look at the permanent ruins, and all the damage the enemy has done to the temple! 4 Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary; they set up their battle flags. 5 They invade like lumberjacks swinging their axes in a thick forest. 6 And now they are tearing down all its engravings with axes and crowbars. 7 They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrate your dwelling place by knocking it to the ground. 8 They say to themselves, |We will oppress all of them.| They burn down all the places where people worship God in the land.
