4. Your foes roared in the place where you met with us;they set up their standards as signs.
5. They behaved like men wielding axesto cut through a thicket of trees.
6. They smashed all the carved panellingwith their axes and hatchets.
7. They burned your sanctuary to the ground;they defiled the dwelling-place of your Name.
8. They said in their hearts, ‘We will crush them completely!’They burned every place where God was worshipped in the land.
