Beat down the doors with sledgehammers,
then split them into kindling.
They burned your holy place to the ground,
violated the place of worship.
They said to themselves, “We’ll wipe them all out,”
and burned down all the places of worship.

And all its carved wood
they broke down with hatchets and hammers.
They set your sanctuary on fire;
they profaned the dwelling place of your name,
bringing it down to the ground.
They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”;
they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

They smashed all the carved paneling
with their axes and hatchets.
They burned your sanctuary to the ground;
they defiled the dwelling place of your Name.
They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely!”
They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land.

then smashing all the carvings
with hatchets and picks.
They set your sanctuary on fire;
they utterly desecrated
the dwelling place of your name.
They said in their hearts,
“Let’s oppress them relentlessly.”
They burned every place throughout the land
where God met with us.

With axes and picks,
they smashed the carved paneling.
They burned your sanctuary to the ground.
They defiled the place that bears your name.
Then they thought, “Let’s destroy everything!”
So they burned down all the places where God was worshiped.

And now its carved works altogether
they have smashed with axe and hammer.
They have set fire to your sanctuary.
They have defiled to the ground,
the dwelling place for your name.
They have said in their heart,
“We will completely oppress them.”
They burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

But now they break down the carved work thereof
At once with axes and hammers.
They have cast fire into thy sanctuary,
They have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:
They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
