3 Make your wayJ to the perpetual ruins,

to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.a

4 Your adversaries roared in the meeting place

where you met with us.A

They set up their emblems as signs.b

5 It was like men in a thicket of trees,

wielding axes,c

6 then smashing all the carvings

with hatchets and picks.d

7 They set your sanctuary on fire;

they utterlyB desecrated

the dwelling place of your name.e
