3Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins,z
all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.
4Your foes roareda in the place where you met with us;
they set up their standardsb as signs.
5They behaved like men wielding axes
to cut through a thicket of trees.c
6They smashed all the carvedd paneling
with their axes and hatchets.
7They burned your sanctuary to the ground;
they defilede the dwelling placef of your Name.g
8They said in their hearts, “We will crushh them completely!”
They burnedi every place where God was worshiped in the land.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins;
the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary!
Your foes have roared in the midst of your meeting place;
they set up their own signs for signs.
They were like those who swing axes
in a forest of trees.
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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Make your way to the perpetual ruins,
to all that the enemy has destroyed in the sanctuary.
Your adversaries roared in the meeting place
where you met with us.
They set up their emblems as signs.
It was like men in a thicket of trees,
wielding axes,
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.

NLTNew Living Translation
Walk through the awful ruins of the city;
see how the enemy has destroyed your sanctuary.
There your enemies shouted their victorious battle cries;
there they set up their battle standards.
They swung their axes
like woodcutters in a forest.
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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Lift your steps to the perpetual ruins,
to all that the enemy has ruined in the sanctuary.
Your enemies have roared in the midst of your meeting place;
they have set up their signs for signs.
They are known to be like those who wield
axes in a thicket of trees.
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.

KJV 1900King James Version
Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations;
Even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations;
They set up their ensigns for signs.
A man was famous according as he had lifted up
Axes upon the thick trees.
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.
