4 Thyne aduersaries roare in the myddest of thy congregations: and set vp their banners for signes of victorie. 5 He that hewed tymber afore out of thicke woddes for to builde the temple: was esteemed as one offeryng a present to God aboue. 6 But nowe they breake downe into peeces all the carued worke therof: with axes and hammers. 7 They haue set fire on thy holy places: they haue defiled the dwellyng place of thy name castyng it downe to the groud. 8 Yea, they sayde in their heartes, let vs make hauocke of them altogether: thus haue they burnt vp all the houses of God in the lande.
